Álvaro Morata spoke to journalists in Minsk, where the Spanish national team will face Belarus in their qualifying game for the 2016 European Championships on Sunday.

On his season: "It has been a good year. It was a difficult change and I think it has helped my international chances. If I hadn't taken the decision it would have been difficult to be here now".

On scoring goals: "A striker lives by the number of goals he scores. Things are different here. It's not just about scoring goals because there are more players from deeper positions that score. We strikers are just another position in the team".

Tiredness: "Being here now is one of the best things that has happened in my life. As far as I'm concerned, this isn't just another game at the end of the season, it's the chance to help defend my country and give my all".

On Del Bosque reaching the 100-game mark: "He is part of Spanish football history. He will always be special to me because he gave me my debut. I hope he continues for many games to come".

On the Spain 'number 9' role: "We are lucky that Spain can produce great players. I will feel an accomplished international player after 50 games. I just want to play well and help the team win".

On his future: "I think I owe Juve a lot for the faith they have put in me. I'm happy there and I have to put a lot back in for what they have done for me".

On the differences: "The style of football at Juventus is different to the one here. With the national team you learn to wait patiently while your teammates have the ball. They are different ways of playing".
