Interview with Sporting's Uruguayan international

Ever wondered what is going through a player's head when penning a deal with a new club? Well in the case of Sebastián Coates, it was the new kit he was about to put on. "It is really beautiful. It is a really nice colour", said the Uruguayan international.

Standing a towering 1.96m, Sebastián Coates will wear number 13. "Sporting is a club with a lot of history. It is one of the big clubs in Portugal and I am really happy. I will work and do the best I can", affirmed the centre-back in his first interview in Alvalade, having arrived on loan from Sunderland. “I have been playing in Europe for some years now and I am a player that likes to win, that is the main thing about me. I give everything I have got in every training session and match. I work hard, which is the most important thing, and I will give everything I can on the pitch for Sporting. I know the coach and I know his work. Sporting are really strong, we are in first in the league and we are in Europe, which is also important", finished the defensive giant.
