"Many players have come and we are working on that work. We are on the road and hoping that efficiency and forcefulness will bring us closer to the results that we are not having. On the coach's side we have to look at the positive side and correct what we have to correct. We have to improve the defensive part. The team has started scoring in every game but we have to improve to sustain the games."
"Julian is the best player we have offensively. We need to have it in the best way. I was playing a great game. He understood that we needed Sorloth and they ended up sending him off in a confusing play. With Julian... all the players get angry when they come out, it's normal."
Atletico Madrid sit 12th in LaLiga with six points from five matches after a 1-1 draw at Mallorca. Conor Gallagher scored in the 79th minute following Alexander Sorloth's straight red card, and Vedat Muriqi equalised six minutes later. Julian Alvarez missed an early penalty and was substituted after an hour, visibly frustrated. Atletico underperformed their expected goals (xG) of 2.26 despite scoring, and four summer signings featured as the squad integrates. The coach urged patience while emphasizing the need for greater efficiency, clinical finishing and improved defensive solidity to sustain results.
