Tristan rediscovers 'desire'
Diego Tristan has revealed he feels reborn under West Ham United manager Gianfranco Zola.[LNB] The experienced Spanish striker joined the Hammers on a free transfer from Livorno last October.[LNB]Tristan has so far failed to start since signing for the club, but insists he has rediscovered his love for the game as he pushes for a chance against West Brom on Monday, in the absence of the suspended Carlton Cole.[LNB]"I have recovered my desire to play and I look forward to training every day," said Tristan in the Daily Mirror.[LNB]Goals"It was not so much I had lost the desire, but my last few months with Deportivo were not good, nor my time with Mallorca either.[LNB]"People in Spain thought I was finished at the top level but I knew it wasn't true. The change of air has done me good and it is like starting my career again.[LNB]"Now I am enjoying a new experience. My coach here, Gianfranco Zola, keeps saying I have plenty more goals in me.[LNB]"I have to work hard because Carlton Cole is doing well and has even been called up by England. So I have to take my chances when I get them.[LNB]"But despite picking up a knock, I have scored my first league goal and, at 33, there is a lot of football left in me."[LNB]
