Alvaro Morata is ready to fight for a starting spot at Real Madrid despite the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema.
The Madrid trio are established as leading lights for Zinedine Zidane s side and dethroning any of them represents a sizeable task.
Such was the competition Morata left the Santiago Bernabeu in 2014 for regular first-team football with Juventus, but he returned to the Spanish capital in July, signing a five-year deal.
Morata has already opened his account with the opening goal in Madrid s 2-1 LaLiga win over Celta Vigo and he hopes to keep impressing to force Zidane to give him a chance.
It does not matter if Benzema plays on Saturday, he is quoted as saying by the Gazzetta dello Sport.
Patience and ambition are important. If I do not play from the beginning I have to do as against Lichtenstein [for Spain]: enter in the field and score goals.
In the two years at Juventus I learned so much about what I should not do when I was in Madrid: get onto the pitch anxious to try to prove everything in a few minutes.
Since that first experience in Madrid I have grown so much. [Fernando] Morientes, who was my idol, he told me that I had to leave and then return. I listened to him and I did well.
It is clear that if I had gone to another team I would have played more, but Real is my dream and I want to try to make it happen. In my head I have nothing else.
They [Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo] are three of the best players in the world, but I will always fight to play and will give everything to make it difficult for the coach.
I hope Zidane will rotate because it would be good for everyone.
