Sébastien Haller empties his bag on his situation in Leganés

Having left Borussia Dortmund last summer, Sébastien Haller is having a complicated loan spell at Leganés, 15th in La Liga. The Ivory Coast international has only played 525 minutes since the start of the season and has not scored a single goal. In an interview for Eurosport Francehe expressed his frustration and bitterness about his current situation. “ My start to the season was strewn with pitfalls and did not correspond to what I hoped for. But that’s part of the ups and downs of a career and life. I want to say that time will do its work. You have to be patient and continue to work to be more efficient. Because I was bothered by lots of small injuries over the course of a few days. It wasn't muscular, but more from the blows I received. These setbacks happen every time in moments when I feel that I am returning to the physical plane. I've been in Leganés for three months and I also had to adapt. »

Nevertheless, Haller feels capable of getting back on track and intends to work hard to put himself at the service of the Spanish team. “ An attacker needs confidence, to play through matches and adapt to the team. I play in a team that is completely different from what I had known over the last three or four years (West Ham, Ajax and Dortmund). (…) There is also a mental part: when frustration and lack of confidence begin to set in, it does not help one to perform. But I have to adapt, I take it as a challenge to take on. You have to show humility. It's not because we played in certain clubs that we deserve to play anywhere. My profile doesn't necessarily fit the style with which the team currently plays. But it's up to me to earn my place and make myself useful », Confided the African champion with Ivory Coast.
