Saúl: "We’ll face the game with humility to try to win"
Saúl Ñíguez answered the media after Tuesday morning’s workout. He stressed the importance of the League opener at home and that the team philosophy does not change, going match-by-match.
Atlético’s player from the ranks has been placed in the centre midfield during the pre-season. Regarding this position, he commented, "I play wherever they tell me. I feel very comfortable and I can see myself in that position throughout the season, but I am at the disposal of the coach and I will play wherever he says."
About his first rival in the first round, he said, "Las Palmas is a great team and is not going to make things easy, just as any team in the First Division. I believe they will play well and it will hard for us. We will face the game with humility to try to win."
To conclude, regarding the demanding start, he noted, "it’s a complicated start but what we need to do is only think in Las Palmas because depending on the result, it will give us more peace of mind for what lies ahead."
