Marcos Llorente analyzed the good performance of Atlético de Madrid against Espanyol in La Liga.
BREAKING THE BAD STREAK
"We had to win. In the last few matches, we had dropped many points. Especially at home today. We were clear about it. It became an uphill battle with that goal against us, but the team played very well and created chances. This is the path to follow."
GREAT GAME BY SØRLOTH
"Sørloth is incredible, the goals he is giving us. He is important. It's crucial that he is focused and involved. Both the ones who play and those who don't. That's what makes great things happen."
MANY CONSECUTIVE MATCHES
"There are many matches, and there are times you can't be at one hundred percent. If you come from a great effort like in the Cup, obviously the next match is harder. We were unlucky with the goal, but the team started well."
GREAT PERFORMANCE BY RUGGERI
"Very happy for Ruggeri. It's difficult to adapt to Atlético. With matches like this, his confidence will grow. He is a player we need. A lot of joy for him."
