Sevilla's Fernando Llorente is hoping to repay the faith shown in him by Sevilla coach Unai Emery when his new side host Atletico Madrid on Sunday. He was unveiled as the team's latest player after he left Juventus.
The forward, who scored 27 goals in 92 appearances for the Serie A champions, is confident of making his Sevilla debut against Diego Simeone's side Atletico Madrid.
"Sevilla is a club that is growing dramatically in recent years, but it still can do much more," said the 30-year-old, who won five trophies during his two-season stint in Turin.
"Since I have started training already, I am now available for Emery, and I come prepared and with great desire. We have a great squad here, and we can go far and it would be a good start for me to play against Atletico. I have a great enthusiasm to play, score many goals, give everything and get as far as possible with Sevilla. Sevilla was always my first choice, the club has given me a lot of affection and the confidence of Emery has been instrumental," he said to goal.com
Sevilla drew 0-0 away at Malaga last week, while Atletico got their La Liga campaign off to a winning start against Las Palmas.
Simeone has a full-strength squad to pick from, with Filipe Luis having returned to training after recovering from injury.
Both sides were part of the Champions League draw on Thursday. Atletico Mardrid were sorted into Group C with Benfica, Galatasaray and Astana.
Meanwhile, last season's Europa League winners Sevilla will face Manchester City, Borussia Monchengladbach and Juventus in Group D.
