Giménez: "In that moment I thought of them, they give me strength" | OneFootball

The MVP of the Atlético – Inter match, José María Giménez, after scoring the winning goal for the Atlético team, was the one to speak on the field. The Uruguayan defender emphasized the importance of securing the three points.

FIRST PEOPLE THAT COME TO MIND

«Well, my children. At that moment, I started thinking about them, about the strength they give me every day. About my wife who supports me and is always helping me to be at my best for every match. I think it was a goal for all my loved ones, those who have been there in good times and not so good times but have never stopped believing in me».

GESTURE IN THE CELEBRATION

«My family. Without them, I couldn't be who I am». 

IMPORTANT VICTORY

«Our motto is match by match. The reality is that in this edition of the Champions League, only earning points matters, that's the only thing that counts. It was a tough match that we needed to win, and after winning it, it leaves us in a position that makes us think and believe that we can qualify directly». 

SET PIECES

 «Well, I had told Koke to take it to the right side. My teammates know that when you're marked in the zone, it's very difficult because when you come charging with double the pace. But I knew it's one of my strengths, and I knew they couldn't handle my jump from a standstill. I told him to send it high, just the way I like it, he delivered a spectacular cross, and I just put my head to it».
