After 75 years, he scored five goals from Real Madrid again! Cork: Atletico Madrid s great game will be recorded in history
Atlanie Madrid player Cork was interviewed after the derby of Atletico Madrid 5-2 at home.
Atletico Madrid scored 5 goals against Real Madrid for the first time in 75 years. This is a game that has been recorded in history, but in the final analysis, it is just a three-pointer. The team gave everything. We need to control better when leading 1-0, but we show the kind of character we had before against Vallecano. We must work hard to expand our strengths after we take the lead. This is a great game that can be recorded in history.
Is there any turning point in the team, such as a special conversation?
is not so much a conversation, but rather a good time now. We created a lot of opportunities, but the opponents always hurt us and scored goals in ways we were not used to, such as Vallecano's long shot from 30 meters away in the 46th minute, or the uncommon header from Espanyol... The team actually performed well, with many new players, and in my opinion, we are facing the challenge with excellent football.
Simone's reaction to the goal is very exciting
We all take great responsibility, and in all teams the focus is always on the coach. We know how we are doing now and we know it's an important game, especially considering our opponents, we recovered three points from them. It's normal, he has maintained that intensity and enthusiasm for all these years. I really like seeing my coach look like this. He always gives everything. marvelous.
What changed in the second half? Coach
made some key adjustments. The opponents piled up a lot of people on their left, which is our right. They tried to mobilize Lenorman, which was one of the key adjustments we made to defend more orderly. And the personality shown by the team. The pace of the game is very fast, you need to bring some calmness to the football, which is what we are trying to do, not blindly kicking, but looking for them behind them, Carvajal presses a lot, Gonzalez is very strong, Alvarez, and Sollot, he played a great game... The penalty kick gave us the initiative, and then Julian scored another free kick. The team played a perfect game. Will the tactical plan of high-level pressing be used?
The team often presses at high positions, but sometimes the opponent will push you back. After leading 4-2, we were in a low-post defensive state and it was difficult to attack because Real Madrid had piled up too many players. Our thinking is very clear. We are a very young team and we veterans are here to help. We can compete and maintain strength. Today everyone saw the Atletico we all want to see.
