Spezia striker Salcedo confident of winning place in Motta plans | OneFootball

Spezia striker Eddie Salcedo is confident of making a big impact this season under coach Thiago Motta.

Salcedo says he's happy to fight for his place.

He said, "I'm sure I can give a lot to this team, I've already been on the field, and I always do my best to be ready for the coach. I have a good relationship with him, and I try to give 100% to show him I want to play.

"That's important at the moment is to stay united, to have a solid group, and to share a single goal: we must support each other and give our best every day, without getting discouraged, but always believing in ourselves because salvation is within our reach.

"The fact that we have a large offensive department is a positive factor, it creates a healthy competition that allows us to maintain high concentration and give our best: it is very stimulating, both for me and for my teammates. What I have to do is to stay focused on my goal, which is the same as the team's, and I'll work hard every day to achieve it.

"The synergy we have with the Primavera team is something useful and formative, I was happy to make my debut with them too, I'm sorry for the defeat, but it was still a good experience.

"My condition? I feel good, I'm ready, I'm training as hard as I can to make the most of every opportunity I get and to give support to the team.

"We're a group of young boys, but we also have a good head on our shoulders. We're at the disposal of the coach who, despite being very young, has great experience and is a role model for us.

"Serie A is a difficult league if you're at the bottom of the table, the overall level has risen, but we're a strong team and we haven't given our 100% yet: we just have to believe and not let ourselves go, and I'm sure we'll reach the salvation."
