Hancko: "I’d have swapped this award for more points" | OneFootball

The first month of competition has not been disastrous for Atlético de Madrid, but the fans have had to vote for their 'Five Star Player', naming Hancko as the best player of August. The defender has been the highlight of a competition start in which Simeone's team has only added two out of nine possible points. Hancko, despite this, has been named the best player of August.

MESSAGE TO THE FANS

"I am really grateful and surprised by this. In my first month at Atlético to win this award, and especially that the fans have voted for me is something I value very much. I am very grateful. But as for the results... I would have liked to exchange this award for more points, it would be much better".

WHAT HAPPENED?

"Above all in the first matches we had a bit of bad luck in some situations and things did not go as we wanted. We are working very hard in training and trying to correct things. Soon we will be a strong team and win matches together. It is the main objective of everyone here".

ADAPTING TO THE LEAGUE

"I had already played in Europe, but it is noticeable that in Spain the players are very technical and everyone wants to play with the ball. As a defender I have to be very attentive because there are rarely easy duels or anything like that, as they always control the ball well".

WHAT DOES HE EXPECT FROM THE SEASON?

"In this League there will be no easy matches, but I also think it will depend a lot on us, on how we want to fight, play, run back, defend... And hopefully all the work we have done in recent months, especially in the preseason, and now during the season, can be seen alongside our fans. I am very happy to play at home and I will do everything possible to win the match".
