Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao says the 'hard work is finally paying off' for the club as they head into the weekend's La Liga fixtures on a three game win streak.
Atletico head into Sunday's clash with Valencia in confident mood as it now looks like they have turned a corner under new coach Diego Simeone after a dismal start to the season.
Falcao, who joined Atletico in the summer for €40 million, has been particularly good of late for the club with five goals in his last three games.
"The work we have been doing, the sacrifice, it is all paying off," Falcao said at a news conference.
"The team is convinced of what it wants.
"We have improved, which has allowed us to turn our situation around.
"We know where we are: out of the European places. If we get a good result against Valencia [on Sunday], things will improve. If we do things right, we will keep growing."
Simeone took over from Gregorio Manzano in December and has previously worked with Falcao when they were both under the employment of Argentine giant River Plate.
Atletico currently sit seventh in the standings.
