Atleti B: Hard-Fought Draw in Yecla
Atlético de Madrid B secured a valuable 1-1 draw in their visit to the always challenging Yeclano Deportivo. A match played in La Constitución, where the Rojiblancos’ reserve team showed grit and fighting spirit against a rival that took the lead.
Fernando Torres, after the match, highlighted the difficulty of the encounter and the team’s ambition to seek all three points from the start. “Our idea was to try to come for the three points, to play our football as much as possible.
I think we achieved that especially in the second half, where we were much better,” the coach said. Torres also highlighted the opportunities created, such as Rayane’s shot off the crossbar and Diego Bri’s chance, regretting that they did not materialize.
“We leave with the feeling that the team competed very well, that the point is not enough for us,” he added. Rayane Belid, a protagonist with a powerful shot on the crossbar, agreed on the difficulty of the match, but highlighted the team’s ability to react.
“At the beginning we got too much into their game, but then in the second half we knew how to play ours, we fought to the end. We got a very difficult point,” said the attacker. This point, the result of effort and dedication, serves to continue adding and face the next challenges with optimism. The team is already focused on making this point count in the next game.
