"I'm very happy because I've had a big pre-season where I focused on working hard and well and this is the reward. There's no such thing as a free pass, I always maintain the same attitude. However, it is a real boost to the morale to have the chance to wear the blue shirt again, like I've been doing since I was 16 years old. This is the next step and mustn't stop here."
