Reaction and Learning: Atlético B Doesn't Give Up
Fernando Torres, coach of Atlético de Madrid B, analyzed the match against Atlético Sanluqueño, a game where the rojiblancos fell by the narrowest of margins after a controversial penalty in the early stages. Despite the adverse result, the coach was satisfied with the reaction of his players.
He emphasized the team’s dominance for much of the match, regretting the adversities, including a penalty not awarded in favor of Atlético. Torres acknowledged that the start of the match was not ideal, but highlighted the team’s ability to respond to adversity.
‘We have to demand more of ourselves,’ Torres stated, emphasizing the importance of continuing to work and learn from each experience. Aware of the difficulties involved in playing away from home, the coach believes that these challenges are part of the team’s learning and growth process.
Javi Serrano, a key midfielder for Atlético B, also shared his perspective on the match. He recognized the importance of improving concentration in the first few minutes, especially when playing as visitors.
Serrano highlighted the need to adapt to difficult fields where the pressure from the local crowd is felt. However, like Torres, he positively valued the team’s reaction and their insistence on searching for a goal. Despite the chances created, the ball didn’t want to go in, but the message is clear: learn from mistakes, keep moving forward, and don’t give up.
