Axel Witsel was one of the Atlético de Madrid players who appeared on Movistar to explain what happened in the 4-3 defeat against Girona in Montilivi.
Feelings after the game
“In the end we are all sad because we go home without points. I think we didn’t start well in the first 10-15 minutes of the game. Then we started to grow more, to play our game. Then in the second half it was amazing from the whole team. In the end we had to score another goal. Above all, the intensity was lacking in the first 15 minutes of the first half. It’s a shame we lost.”
Reaction to the second part
“Well, we didn’t lose anything, so we went up to press because if we fell behind head-to-head, nothing would happen. This pressure was great for us because we got a lot of the ball. In the second half, the coach told us before the game and that’s why the second half was better.”
Table situation
“There’s a lot of it. That’s clear, but there’s a long way to go to the end. We’ll fight as usual, game by game. Last year we were also very far and in the second round we came back. We can’t imagine more than that, because we have to think about the Copa del Rey match, which is also important.”
