About the 1-1 draw
“If you start thinking about the points conceded now, it must feel bad. But considering what the team did in the game, well, I don’t feel that bad. The opponent played well and we didn’t create enough.
We did have chances in the box, but the final pass and finishing kick were not good. The opponents played with a lot of intensity and they kept trying. A 1-0 lead is not safe enough.
A non-threatening attack resulted in our handball, then we were awarded a penalty and that was it. Now we have to think about the next game.”
Atletico are now the only team in La Liga this season without a penalty
“When the referee thinks a penalty should be given, we get it and that’s it. Something about the game went against us.”
About Saul Handball
“I don’t want to discuss this topic, it’s hard to explain. We don’t understand the specific reasons, so let’s leave this kind of thing to those specialists to deal with it in the best way, the most important thing is to help us better understand the situation
.”
What happened to Atletico Madrid’s home court this season?
“Something happened. We did lose a lot of points at home and it hurts me. We have to stay together and help each other to get back the Atlético Madrid we once were.”
The current offensive efficiency of the team is not high enough
“There are some things you can’t improve in training because it depends on the mentality. The more calm you have, the more confidence you have on the pitch, the better you will be. After 1-0 we are still working hard to attack and looking to do better.
The right thing to do, and then there was that situation. But overall, it was the right thing to step up and put more forces on offense.”
