Sørloth: «Pressure? Feeling pressure is a privilege» | OneFootball

WHAT WOULD THE PERFECT MATCH BE LIKE FOR YOU?

“These are the matches we always want to play. Playing a perfect match doesn’t always happen, but it’s what we try to do.”

HOW IS THE TEAM DOING?

“We’re doing very well. I hope we can win the match and everyone is ready.”

IT’S A RELIEF NOT TO BE THE FAVORITES

“It’s not something we think about. We’re focused on ourselves, on what we’re going to do, and that’s what matters. Whether we’re favorites or not is something outside of us. We’re only focused on ourselves.”

FACING ARSENAL’S CENTER-BACKS

“I like these matches. These are the matches you want to play as a player. Playing against a great team or opponents of this level. I’m focused on myself and it will be a great battle. I’m looking forward to the match.”

PRESSURE AFTER LOSING EVERYTHING IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE?

“Pressure is a privilege. It means you’ve done very well, that you’ve gone far in competitions. Everyone handles it differently, but for me it’s a privilege. You’re playing big matches and that’s what you want as a football player.”

BAENA’S FORM

“I’m very happy for Baena. I know better than anyone the things he can do on the pitch. Adapting to Atlético can be different. I’m very happy for him, for his assist the other day, which reminded me of when we played together at Villarreal.”

HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU’RE NOT IN THE STARTING LINEUP?

“We have a lot of matches during the season, I’ve played more than 100 matches here. So rotation is mandatory. At the same time, you want to play every game. If I could choose and my body allowed it, I’d play ninety minutes in every match. That’s what any player wants. But you have to think about the team and give your best on the pitch.”

WHAT REASONS ARE THERE TO BELIEVE IN ATLÉTICO?

“(Now in Spanish) We know it’s two matches. The first one is on Wednesday and we want to get a good result so we can go to London and win there.”
