Atletico de Madrid midfielder Koke Resurreccion acknowledged that his greatest virtue in becoming the player with the most appearances in the club’s history, with 554, has been “not thinking” of himself and yes “of the group”, while who assured that they have “very important people upstairs” who are capable of scoring goals regardless of the system they play.

“I think (my best virtue) is not thinking about myself and doing it first in the team because that’s how many things are achieved. This is a collective sport and one player doesn’t win alone, one of my virtues is that, thinking about my teammates and in the group to be able to add and win. It’s what I’ve always thought and what my parents, coaches and other teammates have instilled in me,” Koke said at a press conference on Monday.

On the other hand, the international made it clear that “the team is just as capable of scoring goals with whatever system they play” after the good game at an offensive level against Sevilla. “We have very important people at the top who decide games if they are fresh and want to score goals,” he said.

“Beyond the system, it is the players who are on the field who have to contribute. Yes, it is true that we were comfortable in the game, but we will see how we play tomorrow, the coach will tell us. Let’s hope we have a good game and let’s score goals to win it”, he added.

The man from Madrid also warned that “every game is different” and that they go to Bruges “with the hope of playing a good game and trying to win it.” “We come with a lot of desire, what happened the other day gave us wings and hopefully that hooks us. Feeling identified with something you do is very nice,” he remarked.

“Things are as they are. We would have preferred to come with six points, but we are three and whether or not it surprises us is how things are. We have to do things well because everything happens very quickly and there are many games in a row, so first We must focus on this one, which is the important one and the one we have to win”, said the captain about the double duel they will now have against Club Brugge, key to their future in the Champions League.
