Atletico players take the positives from draw against Stade Rennais
Miranda: 'The point is important because this team will win a few points here'
Atletico players agreed that the result was good against Stade Rennais. Atletico Madrid was able to react in time and drew level in a game which was an uphill task after the second half goal by Colombian Montaño.
Joao Miranda, like all defenders had a lot of work with the combative Rennes. 'They’re a very strong team The point is important because this team will win a few points here. It is important that the coach trusts me because I am slowly picking up more confidence,' he said.
Diego Ribas said it had been a very open game evenly matched by the two teams. 'We still have room for improvement but the coach will tell us what we must do. The league is very different from the Europa League. The group we have is very difficult. The 1-1 is a very good result because we won the first game,' he said.
Eduardo Salvio came on in the second half and it was a turning point for the team. His pass into the area ended with a perfect Juanfran shot that surprised the French goal. The Argentine said 'we did not start well but we improved. It's a great point. We're in line with the draw.'
