Vietto chose Sevilla over Barca ‘to be happy’

Luciano Vietto opted to join Sevilla rather than Barcelona to 'restore confidence and be happy'.

Vietto joined the Andalucians on an initial season-long loan deal from Atletico Madrid this summer, reportedly turning down an approach for Barcelona and has spoken about the excitement and demands of playing under Jorge Sampaoli

"I came here to help get my confidence back and to be happy," the 22-year-old told Spanish media.

"The coach wants us to keep the ball and to run hard, so you need to be very physically fit.

"We are all taking in a new football idea which is really enjoyable and something we all buy into, but we haven't had much time so we need to work even harder."

The Argentine striker netted twice on his only appearance for his new club in the thrilling 6-4 win over Espanyol.
