Villarreal striker Gerard Moreno feels he's over the worst of his injury problems.

Moreno admits he's a tough past two seasons.

“It's been a difficult two years, but I'm feeling good, strong and confident," he said.

"I'm trying to get to the start of LaLiga in the best possible shape to start strong. I've been looking for a lot of solutions throughout this time and this year I've worked more specifically on my lower body to strengthen it as much as possible. I'm happy with how everything is going.

“I'm really looking forward to the new season. It's going to be a year that is as intense as it is beautiful because we're playing in European competition again. Having ambition is a nice thing and we want to surpass what we did last season both in LaLiga and in Europe. They will be difficult challenges, but we have to keep going one step further year after year."
