Atletico Madrid signing Thomas Lemar insists he can handle the physical demands of coach Diego Simeone's methods.

Lemar joined Atletico this summer from AS Monaco.

"I know and that doesn't bother me," Lemar told reporters at his presentation on Monday.

"I have the capacity to run for long times. In Atlético they're very demanding with that, I will give all I have for the team, so if I have to run to the max, I will do it with joy."
