Real Madrid defender Jesus Vallejo says he's mentally tougher for his loan spells.
After spending a year and a half at Granada, Jesus Vallejo has become a different player.
The defender is enjoying his football once against after a tough time at Real Madrid and a disappointing loan move at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
He told Marca: "It is clear that when you go with the national team it is to try to add to the collective level and knowing that if we do well it will have a personal impact on us.
"I had the experience when I played for Real Zaragoza when I did well with the national team and I was signed by Real Madrid. Then I was on loan at [Eintracht] Frankfurt and we did a good job with the U21s and ended up at Madrid the following season.
"Summer tournaments with the national team have always brought me good memories and I hope this will be another."
