“It’s a big season [for me] and I think it’s a big season for the team as well,” he told the club’s official website.
“Last season we did quite well but we could do better, so we will try to do it better this year and push on.
“Myself, I want to push on as well and I want to have good confidence and play a good season.
“Last season was not my best season, to be honest. It was difficult for me at the beginning with a few calf problems and everything, but at the end of the season I felt very good, I think I played OK and I want to push on and go in with that feeling at the start of the season.
“Confederations Cup? It was a very proud moment and it was my first international trophy.
“I think we did very well as a team there and nobody expected we would win that cup. We played with such a young team and we were very happy.
““It’s always nice to play for your country and I played against top players, top countries. Everybody enjoyed it and I learned a lot and got a lot of experience.
“If you win a trophy you get confidence. I got confidence and now I want to go into the season with confidence.”
