Koke: "700 matches? I just focus on each day" | OneFootball

Koke, after reaching 700 matches as a player for Atlético de Madrid, expressed his great happiness, even more so for achieving victory against Getafe.

REACHING 700 MATCHES

“Joy for winning the match, it was strange and it won’t be remembered as the best in history. But I think of my family, of the workers who have been at the club at this time, and everyone around me, because thanks to them I am who I am.”

ROLE WITHIN THE TEAM

“I’ve always said it: I’m important in whatever the coach and the team need, whether it’s two minutes, 90, or none. That’s the mentality we must have and accept the roles we’re given.”

A KEY MATCH FOR THE FUTURE

“Of course, these are the matches we have to win if we want to compete with Madrid, Barcelona, and Villarreal. We knew it wasn’t going to be easy because of Getafe’s slow-paced play, which they do spectacularly.”

700 AND… HOW MANY MORE?

“What has gotten me this far is not setting any number for myself. I focus on the day-to-day and on training tomorrow.”
