Claudio Echeverri has spoken about joining Manchester City.
Echeverri is now with Manchester City, having spent the last year on loan at River Plate. Speaking in an interview on Manchester City’s website, here is what he had to say:
“I cannot tell you how excited I am to be here in Manchester and to finally be able to call myself a Manchester City player.
“Football has been my life, my dream was to play for one of the best teams in Europe. Today I’m closer to that dream. Manchester City are one of the best in the world. Not only do they win trophies, they play so beautifully. They’re an example to everyone, they show people how to play football the best way.
“To be part of this team and culture at City – and use this as my basis to develop my game – is something I’m really excited about. My family and I are so proud to be here. My focus now is on working as hard as I can in training to show the manager and staff I’m good enough to be part of this team.”
He also commented about playing in the Premier League:
“I think I’m ready but obviously I need to train with the Manchester City team and improve. Hopefully, the adaptation period will be short so I can start playing soon. I like to attack, go forward, dribble. I also love taking on defenders, getting past them. Hopefully, I can contribute, play well, score a lot.”
