THE CENTRE-BACK OPENED UP THE SCORE WITH A SUPERB LEFT-FOOTED SHOT AFTER A WELL TESTED PLAY

Giménez: "The three points were fundamental"

The Atlético defender was very satisfied of the job he did for all his teammates.

José María Giménez highlighted at the conclusion of the clash against Elche that it was a great match for us

to attain the vitally important triumph. "I am very happy with the goal and the team performance, we kept a clean sheet. The three points were vital for us."

In addition, the defender admitted that today, the team's goal was to fight to stay in third place in the League. "We follow Valencia and Sevilla because those are the rivals we are really competing with".

The Uruguayan scored his first goal as a member of Atlético. A goal that is a result of the daily work his coaches ask him to do. "The important thing about my goal is I am always concentrated on in what I am doing. I work a lot, we work a lot on shooting and part of it is of me and the other is from the coaching staff who make us work on it", he said.
