The Atleti players, pleased with the good game and the win over Villarreal
Forlán: “We needed to win, especially against a great team like this”
The Atlético de Madrid players who passed through the mixed zone after the victory over Villarreal appeared happy about the good match played by their team and the crucial win earned against fourth-place Villarreal.
Diego Forlán got himself back in the scoring column against his former team, Villarreal. “The important thing is that the team played well and won, not like in the last contest. We needed to win, especially against a great team like Villarreal. I had been feeling much better in the last few games and luckily the goal came and it’s always good to score goals for a striker. I’m pleased. Now I feel better and am playing at one-hundred percent, which allows you to go into matches differently. It was a pity that Juanfran was unable to score on that last play.”
The Uruguayan made the importance of the win in this encounter very clear. “We played a good game against Sevilla last Saturday and paid for the few times they attacked. Winning these types of clashes against rivals who play well and who are tough teams both at home and away encourage you to keep working. The squad is grabbing a hold of good sensations, we’re playing good games and haven’t lost in several matches. The draws from last week were made good with this victory.”
Tomas Ujfalusi was a stalwart in the ‘rojiblanco’ defence, and also pushed forward down his wing when required. The Czech said that “we’re all happy. We earned three points, which is the important thing, and did so playing well. We played against an opponent with lots of quality, that plays good football, and who we overcame with intensity and scoring chances. the most important thing is the three points and we have to look for consistency in the upcoming matches.”
Concerning the fact that Agüero and Forlán scored once again, he pointed out that “we know that Diego and Kun are our reference points. They create lots of chances for us. They’re the biggest weapons we have and played very complete games. We’ve had very important fixtures and playing every three days is good for us. We came out with lots of intensity these days because we have to qualify for Europe next season. It’s true that we had bad luck in recent games; they’ve shot on us three or four times and scored two goals. I think that we deservedly won today. These three points really help us out.”
Diego Godín again formed a perfect tandem with Domínguez. The Uruguayan highlighted that “I’m happy with the match that we played and the result. We controlled the game at all times and after their goal, we continued to play the same. This win allows us to calm down a bit, so that people talk about other things and not about controversy. Playing like this, I’m sure that Atlético de Madrid will make it to European play.”
