Filipe Luis: 'We are on track and the team is getting better every day'

'It hurts us not having won against Sevilla because they are a direct rival' 

Filipe Luis was on the same page as his teammates who appeared before the media last Sunday after the game against Sevilla. The Atletico player spoke about the lack of scoring in recent games 'we must be patient because we’re creating chances. Against Sevilla I read that we had 15 shots on goal and that is fine. The ball will go in. We have very good strikers are good finishers and goal scorers, so it will come with patience.'   'It hurts us not having won against Sevilla because they are a direct rival and we knew the importance of the match. But we also know that we were up against a great team with a great coach and great players like Sevilla. We had to raise our game, we have demonstrated our football once again and just missed the goal to win the game. I think we're on the right track and we are working well and the team is improving every day. We have overcome the result against Barca and we must continue in this line and keep growing,' said Atletico player.   Luis Filipe understands that 'we have a good feeling within the camp, we have a great squad, with players with great quality and, above all, everyone helps out defending, even the attackers like Falcao, Arda, Reyes ... People are putting in a lot of work to defend.  This is the big change from last season to this one. Of course we have to improve and we have to get better, but this is achieved by playing games. So I think we're on the right track. '   Finally, asked if the 5-0 at the Camp Nou had hurt the team. Filipe Luis said 'well we did not expect that score line. They are the best team in Spain and the World. Of course it was not the way we wanted but we knew it could happen. We have overcome that setback.'
