Marcos Llorente, captain of Atlético de Madrid, expressed his satisfaction after the resounding victory over Cornellà, which consolidated the streak of six consecutive victories under the direction of Diego Simeone. The forward, who has been a key player in defense and midfield, highlighted the importance of maintaining cohesion and tactical discipline to continue advancing in the season.
The colchonero team has shown a solid performance in recent games, with four victories as a visitor and only two defeats. Llorente pointed out that Atlético has found the “key” in its game, with clear ideas about pressure and position on the field. "The team has found the key, we have very clear ideas, the way to press and position ourselves. But we have not done anything and we have to continue," he said in an interview with DAZN. According to the player, the key is to follow the same direction and maintain consistency to achieve positive results.
In particular, the victory in Cornellà was fundamental, since the club had failed to win there the previous year. Llorente underlined the difficulty of stadiums outside the Metropolitano and the need to obtain points on rivals' grounds. "Happy for the three points, I think it is essential to get points away from home, that is what has been costing us these years. They are complicated fields," he explained. Atlético de Madrid has shown that it can overcome the challenges presented by the competition in Barcelona, and the player emphasized the importance of continuing in the same direction to achieve great things.
The captain also thanked the fans present in Barcelona for their support, recognizing their crucial role in the team's performance. "There were many people cheering today, they were heard many times. They know that they are fundamental, they are very important. If we row in the same direction we will do great things," Llorente concluded. With the current streak, Atlético de Madrid remains in a competitive position in the league and moves confidently towards the final phase of the season, where consistency and fan support will continue to be decisive factors.
