Álex Baena: "I’m comfortable there too, I’ll play wherever I can help" | OneFootball

The rojiblanco midfielder, Álex Baena, after the narrow defeat and the poor match by Atlético de Madrid against Real Betis, analyzed what lies ahead, how the squad is feeling, and his first season as a rojiblanco.

CRUCIAL STAGE OF THE SEASON

“We know that February and March are the months when the season is decided because the Copa semifinals are coming, the Champions League knockout rounds… Luckily, we have all the players switched on except for Pablo’s injury, which bothers us a bit.”

NOT GIVING UP

“The other day I enjoyed myself like I hadn’t in a long time. This month, individually, had been very weak for me. Never give up and keep performing at this level.”

WHERE DO YOU SEE THE BEST BAENA?

“It’s true that for me the ideal position is as an attacking midfielder leaning a bit to the left. There was a moment in the season when Pablo got injured and I played a bit on the right. I’m comfortable there too, I play wherever I can help.”

UP TO NOW, WHAT GRADE WOULD YOU GIVE YOURSELF?

“I’d give myself a 6 with a huge margin for improvement, and hopefully I can raise it.”
