Koke: The Metropolitano, Key to the Copa Final
Atlético de Madrid’s captain, Koke Resurrección, fully recovered from his injury, is optimistic about the crucial second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Barcelona.
The Rojiblanco midfielder highlighted the difficulty of the match against a rival in great form, but trusts in the Metropolitano factor and the unconditional support of the fans to achieve passage to the final. “It’s going to be a very nice game for the spectator.
It’s a very difficult match. We are facing a rival who is in incredible form, but we play at our home, we play with our people and that also has to make us strong. Hopefully we will have luck on our side in this case to reach a final,” said Koke, highlighting the importance of playing at home and with the support of the fans.
The Colchonero captain appealed to the indomitable spirit of the team and the connection with the stands to overcome the Blaugrana team. “Our people never fail us and it is the moment for the players to step forward and take them to a final.
Hopefully we will experience the atmosphere that we have experienced in recent games. When we need them, they are always there,” he said, emphasizing the need for a packed Metropolitano. Koke anticipates a high-intensity match, where Atlético will have to counteract Barcelona’s possession game and offensive power. The second leg will define the qualifier for the Copa del Rey final.
