Oblak: Atlético searches for lost regularity
Jan Oblak, goalkeeper of Atlético de Madrid, expressed his frustration after the last match, acknowledging the team’s difficulty in maintaining the necessary consistency in LaLiga. “We dropped two important points, a shame,” he lamented, underlining the irregularity that prevents them from competing for the title.
The goalkeeper emphasized that, although everyone wants to win, the lack of regularity is costing valuable points and allowing their rivals to get closer in the table. Despite the disappointment in LaLiga, Oblak looks optimistically at the next Copa match, seeing it as an opportunity to raise a title.
He acknowledged the difficulty of the clash against FC Barcelona, recalling the recent league match where Atleti, after winning 2-0, ended up giving up the victory. “We must get together, do our best and try to get to the final, to fight, at least, for this title,” he said. Although he reached a personal milestone by becoming the third player with the most games in Atlético’s history, Oblak played down the achievement in a moment of adverse results: “Thanks, but when you don’t win, it doesn’t matter.” Regarding the penalty awarded to Espanyol, Oblak trusts the arbitration decision, pointing out that the clarity of the referee and the lack of VAR review suggest a clear foul. He concluded by recognizing Espanyol’s needs and lamenting the loss of points for his team.
