Adu upbeat despite Monaco situation

US Men's international Freddy Adu is determined to continue working hard and gain a place on AS Monaco's team even though he has not seen any action since late last year.

Speaking to the New York Times, the young player said: “I’m fine. A lot of people probably think because I’m not playing a lot that my confidence is low, or this and that. No. I’m fine. Confidence is at where it should be right now.

"I’m training very, very hard and if the coach calls my name, I’ll get out there and do what I can do to help the team, try to make a difference. And if he doesn’t call my name, I just keep working. And that’s the mentality I’ve taken on.”
