Real Madrid fullback Alvaro Odriozola feels his career has been revived this season.

Odriozola is currently on-loan with Fiorentina, where he is now a first-choice.

The fullback told AS: "As I say, it is a new Odriozola because I am working on a part that I had not done before and that I needed to do, which is the tactical aspect.

"I think that every player, if he has the option to play in Italy, should do so at least once in his life. It is a new Odriozola because, although I must maintain my usual characteristics, I cannot lose them, speed, coming from behind and creating danger.

"But in the defensive aspects, knowing how to come out with the ball played from behind, I am learning a lot. You enjoy this learning by becoming a better footballer. This move is paying off."
