Real Madrid's 30 million euro new boy Fabio Coentrao is resolute to show he is worth every cent of his huge transfer fee.
The Portugal wing-back was signed by Real from Benfica earlier this month and has now joined up with his new team-mates at their training camp in Los Angeles.
Coentrao cost 50million euros less than international team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo but nevertheless feels he has something to prove.
He told Diario AS: "I always hear about the 30million...they say it's expensive, but I cannot answer this question. Time will tell. I have the certainty that I have the quality and I want to show everyone why they paid 30million.
"I have to prove to everyone that I have the qualities to be here. I am certain that I will respond in the future to this question and that it was worth paying the money for me."
Coentrao revealed he had received a warm welcome from his new team-mates.
"It's a fantastic group. I am feeling well, and not just because of the Portuguese and Brazilians here," he added.
"I feel great in this group. It is a fantastic club and a team with high quality. I am proud to be here, but I have to work hard from now."
