Reyes: 'We know that the streak will change and we'll start scoring goals'
'We must win at Udinese to take an important step in the Europa League'
Jose Antonio Reyes has stated very clearly that having not scored goals in recent games is a matter of runs and that will all change soon. He said at the press conference after training on Monday at the Ciudad Deportiva de Majadahonda. 'We know that at any time this will change, we're going to score a goal. We must look ahead and think about Thursday's game, which is important. We’ll try to score a goal and win,' he said.
As to whether away from home Atletico are a different team, Reyes does not think so. 'Not that we lower the level, but the home teams have to win in their field to please their fans. We go with the intention of winning home or away. We're not scoring goals but they’re not either, which is important. What concerns us is winning games. We're not winning games we should do but we’re not lossing, it is also important. We must start to win games,' he said.
We must always look at the positive side and in this case is that Atletico Madrid have not conceded a goal in the last two matches. 'It's good that we’re not conceding goals. It is always good. We have five games without a goal and we do know that the streak will change and we'll start scoring goals,' he said.
On the issue personally, Reyes said 'I am happy and that's important. The coach is doing rotations, we can not say anything. We talked a lot with the coach and I have no problem with it.'
With respect to Atletico who last season played more on the wings, the '10 'of Atletico said that 'we must adapt to any style. The important thing is to play and the team win. Whichever way you play is the least important, when all is said and done.'
On Thursday, Atletico Madrid visits the Friuli stadium to face Udinese. Reyes believes that 'we must win to take an important step in this competition.”
