Alvaro Morata praises Julen Lopetegui

Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata has praised Spain Under-21 boss Julen Lopetegui following Tuesday's 2-0 win over Germany.

Morata opened the scoring for his country, before Los Blancos teammate Isco wrapped up the victory for La Roja.

"When I come here I am happy, I have a lot of confidence," Morata told reporters at a press conference.

"Lopetegui gives me that confidence and playing time and I know I am capable of doing things well. I felt good. In the last five minutes I got tired but everything went well."

Morata has scored 13 times in 12 games for Spain Under-21s.
