Atlético: A point that adds up and an iron defense
Atlético de Madrid earned a valuable point in their visit to Alavés, in a match where defensive solidity was the main protagonist. Alavés midfielder Carlos Vicente highlighted the importance of the draw, stating that it allows them to depend on themselves in the fight for permanence.
The player emphasized the team’s good moment, emphasizing defensive solidity and the ability to keep a clean sheet, which is essential to continue adding important points.
Vicente also valued the support of the fans in Mendizorroza, highlighting the need to become strong at home and correspond to the constant encouragement they receive. “We had to become strong at home. It’s crazy to come here every weekend and see how the people cheer.
They also deserved us to be solid in Vitoria. And I think we are achieving it,” said the player from Aragon. The Alavés player emphasized the importance of teamwork, from the striker to the goalkeeper, to achieve the defensive solidity they are showing.
“Everyone works here, from Kike to Sivera. We had good feelings but we didn’t add points. Keeping a clean sheet is very important. A few weeks ago we already had confidence but now adding up gives you more confidence. We are going to get it, for sure,” he commented. The team’s positive streak, with a draw in Seville, a victory against Real Sociedad and this draw against Atlético, gives them confidence to face the next games with optimism.
