Marcos Llorente was very clear about Atlético de Madrid’s match, which, despite being the superior team, was left out of the Super Cup due to a lack of effectiveness. Marcos Llorente stated that he was “happy” with the team’s performance, but that they had not “managed to be effective.”

MATCH ANALYSIS

“There are days when you don’t have it. Today we had it, but we weren’t able to be effective. In matches like this, you have to be, because if not, you don’t end up winning them.”

VERY EARLY GOAL AGAINST

“The match gets complicated very quickly. You don’t go out there with that idea. A foul that was accidental and made things very difficult for us. The team knew how to play with that, adapted to the situation, it was an unexpected blow but the team did well. We had chances, we played the game the way we wanted, and I’m happy for the team.”

WHAT WERE THEY LOOKING FOR WITH HIM IN THE MIDDLE?

“We were looking for more depth, because we knew we could hurt them. Giuliano and I could break into space and create chances. We were also looking for more order, because on the counterattack they’re tough. I’m happy for the team, when these things happen there’s nothing you can say. We had the chances, we created them, which is the hard part, and we held them off, but it wasn’t enough.”
