“We intend to win both matches, and the first one is Malaga’s”
Atlético’s fullback has stressed the importance of winning the two remaining League fixtures at this Thursday’s press conference before the media. For the team, to become champions, nothing else matters other than winning Málaga and Barcelona.
Juanfran Torres has indicated at the press conference held after the team’s training session in Majadahonda, the importance of winning the two remaining fixtures. The player from Alicante claims the group is clear about the numbers: “If we win both of the remaining fixtures we’ll be champions, and the first one is against Málaga. But it would be an error to think beyond Málaga”.

After this, we have Barcelona’s fixture, although the team is clear that to achieve the League title they have to win both matches. The defence has stressed they don’t want to speculate, therefore, “They’ll go out to win at Barcelona’s field”, because if the come out thinking of tying, “Andrés, Leo or someone else from Barcelona can win the fixture, and you go home without a title or anything else”.
In reference to the team’s possible fatigue due to the amount of games played, he confirmed, “The team is doing perfectly”. The preseason’s hard work has proved successful. The defence has recalled that the key to this team’s success is the work: “If you work, work, work, you’ll be rewarded. And we’ve worked as hard as anyone”. We are all waiting for the reward in the form of titles for the three remaining finals.
