Former Villarreal midfielder Cani is excited by his move to Atletico Madrid.

The veteran signed for Atletico last week.

"When you get the call to come to play for Atleti, you drop everything to one side," said Cani.

"I really didn't expect this opportunity. My aim is to really take advantage of all the playing time that's afforded to me by the coach. I hope to play well and be at the club for some time.

"I've been here for just two days and the idea is to be a competitive team and as the coach says, just take each game as it comes. That's the way I've viewed the game up until now."
