Luciano Vietto certain the goals will come

Atletico Madrid striker Luciano Vietto remains confident that he will find his shooting boots for the Spanish club.

The Argentine struck 20 times for Villarreal last season, which prompted Atletico to purchase the 23-year-old in the summer transfer window.

The forward has only netted three times for Diego Simeone's side this season, but has insisted that he will hit the goal trail for the capital side in the remaining months of the season.

"I feel like I've grown since I came here. I've become more of a man. I'm growing and adjusting to everything asked of me. There is a change [between Villarreal and Atletico]," Vietto told AS.

"Atletico fight for three competitions until the end and that requires you to give the maximum every day. It is how I imagined it, a club with large internal competition, all players giving 100%.

"It's good for the group because it makes you bring out the best in each other. Lately I've had minutes, only it's costing me to find the goals of last season. But I don't despair because I know it will come."

Vietto has not found the back of the net for Atletico since December.
