The Chelsea forward is unhappy with his international goal tally and believes he has a lot of room for improvement for La Roja
Diego Costa has acknowledged that he has been struggling to find his best form for Spain and is desperate to score more goals for the national team.The 26-year-old has netted just once for the reigning European champions
since making his debut in the 1-0 friendly win over Italy in March 2014
and has received considerable criticism for his lack of goals.
Costa once more failed to find the net in Spain's 1-0 Euro 2016
qualification win over Macedonia on Tuesday and he has now admitted he
must do better.
"I’ve got a lot to improve and I’ve got to start scoring goals," the Chelsea star was quoted as saying by AS.
"There will be no lack of effort on my part. I'll keep working hard at my club to improve.
"I am always filled with ambition whenever I get called for the national team.
"On a personal level I am not happy because I didn't manage to score
against Macedonia, although I'm happy with the victory. We’ve gained
three points which are important for our qualification."
The striker picked up a yellow card in midweek which rules him out of
the match against Luxembourg due to suspension, much to his own
surprise.
"Am I suspended against Luxembourg? It’s the first I’ve heard about it...," he added
Costa's only goal for Spain came in the 4-0 win over Luxembourg in October 2014.
