Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata vows to work hard

Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has vowed to continue to work hard as he attempts to oust Karim Benzema in the Spanish side's first XI.

However, the Spaniard also reserved special praise for Benzema, who Morata believes is "one of the best strikers in the world".

"I'm enjoying this moment normally, relaxed. I know that I have to work, that I have one of the best strikers in the world in front of me and that I have to go day by day and keep working," Morata told reporters at a press conference.

"I'm training well and if I get the opportunity, then I will try to take advantage."

Morata scored in Madrid's 3-2 win over Levante at the weekend.
