Atletico Madrid striker Kevin Gameiro claimed he is trying to break into Diego Pablo Simeone's lineup even if Colchoneros' first choice was Chelsea striker Diego Costa.
The Frenchman declared to radio station COPE: "Simeone phoned me and told me he wanted Diego Costa, but it was very difficult and I was the other option."
"It does not upset me, that happens in football. Now I'm in Madrid and that's the main thing. I spoke with Simeone and everything was clear."
He is clear and I like that. I am very different from Diego Costa, we don't have the same characteristics. Simeone told me that he wanted me, he was clear about that and I was as well" he ended.
