Diego Costa: "I'm very shy"

Atletico Madrid forward Diego Costa claims that he is "very shy" off the field.

Atletico Madrid forward Diego Costa has claimed that his personality on the field is entirely different from his normal character.

The 25-year-old, who has scored 27 times for his club this season, is known for his aggressive demeanour on the field. However, he has insisted that his off-the-pitch personality is entirely different.

"If people knew me, they'd change their minds. I'm very shy, I get embarrassed doing interviews," he told Canal+.

"I'm in my own little world, as they say because that way I can do things I like and not worry about the bad."

Costa is expected to make his Spain debut against Italy on Wednesday.
