The Atletico players were happy with the win against Espanyol and emphasize that the key to this is thinking game by game. So from now on the mind is set on Valencia, in the second leg of the semifinals of the Europa League.
After the game in the mixed zone, Mario Suarez was the first to appear before the media. The midfielder said: "We are very happy. We wanted to win, we did it and it was a treat for the whole stadium on the Day of the Child. We can not ask for more. Hopefully we continue to play well and to win games. We are very happy to win and the work being done by the team."
The Atletico Madrid number 4 recognises that this victory comes in handy ahead of the game on Thursday. "We were not thinking about Thursday, only today. Starting on Monday we will think about Valencia to work as good as possible. We know that if we give 110 percent every game like we're doing, we will always have a chance. We're going there to win like we always do and hopefully achieve our goal."
Diego Godin scored for the team with an accurate header in the first half. The Uruguayan said that he "wanted to do well because in the Derby, personally, things didn’t go well and I am happy to have scored and to have had a good game personally and the team, who had a great match.
The Uruguayan regognises that "psychologically there is nothing better than winning three straight games as we have done this week and playing well like we're doing. The team is playing really well, showing good intensity and attitude and we grow in the second half which is tough playing two competitions at this point in season. We stayed with it, with good feelings.”
Eduardo Salvio also played well, he too spoke to the media saying "We've got three important points. We did not want to miss this opportunity. We feel good, had a brilliant second half and we're happy about that. We knew this was a very important game in the league. The win gives us a moral rush to go to Valencia. In the League Champions is our goal and we remain on track. We have to continue like this". |
