Tottenham winger Erik Lamela is eager to repay the faith shown in him by manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Lamela is happy to be working under a fellow Argentine.
"It is something that can help me," said Lamela.
"He has helped me a lot of times. But, really, it depends on me. It is down to me: how I train, what I do in training and in matches. Then I think he will put me on the pitch. I will play wherever he puts me. I have to adapt. If I am on the pitch, I will do my best.
"It is a challenge for me because last season did not go as I had hoped: the injuries, maybe because I was not 100 per cent. These are things you have to overcome and change yourself. You always have to improve. I don't know how far I can go but I will try my hardest to make my team win. I want to train to the maximum and continue to improve as a footballer.
"I am still young. I can improve a lot but it depends on me. This season I want to help my team and my team-mates to reach our aims. My aim is always to give to the team all that I can and to be 100 per cent focused."
