Oblak: “The two stoppages? Goalkeeper stuff, it’s that easy”

Jan Oblak was one of the key figures in Atlético de Madrid’s victory over Celta de Vigo. The Slovenian was once again key for the colchoneros to secure the three points with two excellent saves. One in the first half with a low shot that hit Julián Alvarez’s post and in the second half a header in the small area by Borja Iglesias. After the game he spoke to DAZN.

Victory against Celta

“Very important achievement. Very difficult and very complicated match. The three points are very important for us and Celta this year are very good, we knew it was going to be difficult but in the end we got the three points, and that’s the most important thing.”

Bad team image

“We didn’t do well. It’s like that. These are games influenced by fatigue, then other teams are also playing at home. When someone plays at home it’s quite easy because they have the help of their people. But it didn’t go in right, but nothing happened. If you win, you win. The only thing is that we cannot allow these things in advance because they can punish you.

The stops at Aspas and Borja Iglesias

“In the end goalkeeper things. That’s it for us and we need to stop. When you stop, it’s good and when you don’t stop, it’s bad. That’s how easy this explanation is.”

Julián Alvarez’s goal

“Of course, I think every goal is very important and even more so for the forwards. I think Alex is doing a great job, but in front of goal he doesn’t have any luck. Julián has got it. That will surely give him the strength to continue in a better way.”

The derby

“The derby is on Sunday, you have to recover properly first. As much as possible. There are only two days left before the game, so we have to recover well, prepare and do everything to leave a good image on Sunday. I hope we win the game.”
