following his return to Real Madrid as doubts grow
over his future in the Spanish capital.
Morata made his way back to the Santiago
Bernabeu from Juventus after Madrid exercised a
buyback option in the off-season but the Spain
international has been unable to cement a regular
starting berth.
The 24-year-old forward did start in Saturday's
4-0 LaLiga rout of relegated Granada, scoring twice
in the first half to take his season league tally to
15 goals, and Morata thought he would have
featured more this campaign.
"Did I expect to play more? Sure, but I'm always
ready for the coach when he needs me and that is
the most important thing," Morata said.
"I would like to play every minute of every match,
as everyone does, I always want to go and score
goals yet I am aware there are times when this
isn't possible."
"I don't think about my own personal
achievements, I want to win LaLiga and the
Champions League as every other player in the
squad does, it is going to be a very difficult end to
the season but we know if we win every match
then we will be champions in two competitions," he
continued.
Morata has been unable to dislodge Karim
Benzema's from his position as Madrid's first-
choice forward, despite boasting a superior scoring
record.
"This is something for other people to talk about,
not me, I don't care if I score more goals than a
team-mate, I just want to score and I have 20
which is a good number," Morata added.
Morata's brace helped ensure Madrid remain level
on points with leaders Barcelona, on whom they
have a match in hand.
