Atletico Madrid captain Koke gave an interview to journalists after the first round La Liga match against Espanyol. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In the match, Atletico took the lead in the 37th minute, but the hosts responded with precise strikes in the 73rd and 84th minutes. Koke said in his opinion: "In the second half, especially, there was a lack of clear decision-making both in our and the opponent's penalty areas.
Nevertheless, I do not consider the result fair. We controlled the game, only after conceding the goal did the situation change.
We know what we are aiming for because we are Atletico." In the next match, on Saturday, August 23, the team led by Diego Simeone will play at home against Elche and try to wash away the defeat.
This match is the team's second round of the season, and winning in front of the fans is of great importance. The team will put all its strength into achieving a better result in the next game.
