Deportivo La Coruna wing-back Luis Filipe refuses to be downhearted after missing out on a summer move to Barcelona.

"It was very hard because you have dreams, have goals and ambitions in life," said Filipe. "The hardest moments were the uncertainty, not knowing if I would stay or go, it created much anguish.

"The train from Barcelona came because I worked hard for this shirt, if I keep working, it could come again."
