Gabi: 'The connection between dressing room and the fans will make us win the game'

Gabi appeared at a news conference before training with Atletico Madrid this evening. The media were interested in knowing the mood of the group and the captain was very clear: 'The dressing room is down, I think this streak has led us to a moment that the team did not want to be in. Nobody is happy with this situation and the only people responsible are us. We have a very important week for us and the club, you can define our future from it. It's a week vital to us and we have the opportunity to flip this whole situation on its head.'   Gabi talked about the meeting between the players before training last Friday: 'The phrase that sums it all up is that the only ones able to turn this around are us, we have to take it forward together.” As for the fact that he’s facing his former team, for now Gabi said that is secondary: 'it’s not the best time for nostalgia. What is clear is that tomorrow is a vital game for us, I want to win in any manner whatsoever”. On the meeting with Gregorio Manzano, the captain wanted to make clear that everyone is together 'The coach can not be accused of doing anything wrong. He told us what he thought we had done wrong, we all have to improve. He, like us, is laying the groundwork for all this to improve and turn around the situation.'   As for the support of the fans, the Atletico midfielder knows the team can count on their fans: 'We know that the fans of Atletico Madrid are with us, connection between dressing room and the fans will make us win the game tomorrow.”   Gabi says the cooperation between the squad and the technician is 100%: 'To turn this around there has to be a unique union that makes us move forward and the commitment must be to believe in him, what he says, and move forward”.   Finally the captain said that before the Zaragoza game 'We know that tomorrow is an important game for everyone. Tomorrow we will play as onel.'
