"We’ve controlled the match quite a bit"

Raúl García entered in the second half of the match against Granada, to seal with his goal the 2-0 Atlético win in a hard-fought match. "On the defensive level, we didn't have too many problems. It’s true that we struggled to close the match, but hey, the team has played controlling the game quite a bit and later, we were able to close it," he said.

The player from Navarra also assured that the coaching change of the rival team was an added difficulty they handled before the match. "We knew they were a team coming from a change of coach and that is always a bit of a mystery, how you will play with them, but I think the team managed to play the game well. We could have closed it out earlier, but the important thing is to get the win again, which is what we all want." 

Torres and Mandzukic are very good, and the good players always understand each other

Torres and Mandzukic played together at the beginning in the forward positions and both improved as time went by. For Raúl García, the return of the home-grown player to the team is very positive. "Good players always understand each other. The arrival of Fernando Torres is good for us, he gives the team more possibilities. Him, Griezmann, Raúl Jiménez... All the players we have are players who can understand each other well."
