Costa Rica striker Joel Campbell is focused on doing his best for his country at the World Cup, as they bid to continue their remarkable journey by putting the Netherlands to the sword in the quarter-finals.

Campbell, who spent last season on loan at Olympiacos from Arsenal, has been one of the standout players of the World Cup and has earned praise for his performances from all quarters.











Still just 22 years old, Campbell is increasingly carrying the weight of Costa Rica's hopes on his shoulders.

The striker though would not have it any other way and does not want expectations to be lowered simply on account of his tender years.



"This is a new level for me", he explained to FIFA.

"Just because I’m young doesn’t mean less is expected of me", Campbell concluded.
