5 goals overturn Real Madrid in 2 games! Alvarez: Beating Real Madrid to enhance Atletico Madrid s confidence and practice free kicks

September 28th, after Atletico Madrid's 5-2 home victory over Real Madrid, Alvarez, the best player who scored twice in this game, accepted a post-match interview and talked about topics such as this historic victory, the team's performance, and coach Simeone.

Talk about your free kick score

We sometimes practice, especially when there are more training days in the middle of the week. Then we know that there will be about one or two chances in the game, and these opportunities must be seized. I have to stay focused, think positively, and then get the ball well.

has performed poorly at the beginning of the season, but has scored five goals in the last two games. How have you adjusted?

I was very calm at the time because I had always been able to score goals. If I can't even create opportunities, I will be more worried. The key is to work hard to improve efficiency and decisiveness in the face of scoring opportunities. I think from the data we are one of the teams that have created the most goals and we have to keep working on the next game.

Is your goal to make history at Atletico Madrid?

I feel very cared for here and feel very good, and I am very happy to be here. They gave me space and I worked hard to help the team every day. The season is long and there is still a long way to go. We must focus on short-term goals and make progress every day, rather than thinking too far.

What is the atmosphere in the locker room after the game?

Like all fans, we are very happy. It was a special day, a very important victory. This is of course because it is a derby, but for us, it also means we continue the momentum of taking three points both at home and in front of the fans. They (Real Madrid) had a very positive momentum before and ranked high, so it is also important to get points from them in the long run. Most importantly, this greatly improves the team's confidence.

What did Simeone say to you during the break?

He told us to stay calm and said we were doing well and to keep kicking in the same way. I think we have the situation in the game, sometimes with the ball, sometimes without the ball, but the opponent has little chance of shooting the goal, and we are very efficient. He told us to stay calm and the second half of the goal will come.

Close the points gap with Real Madrid. The season is long, but these games are crucial and we don't want to lose points on the road. Although the team performed well, we still need to adjust something and we must work hard to keep the clean sheet. We have to be more efficient and if we only focus on ourselves, we will certainly be able to compete for the championship.

How do you evaluate Cork and Griezmann?

No need to say how great they are as players and what they bring to our club, they are our captain and flag. They are the ones who show us the way. It was impressive to see them go all out on the court like they are today. We are very grateful.

The importance of crossing through the sidelines?

This is one of the keys that Simeone asked us to try to open the situation from the wing through Gonzalez or Simeone Jr. In addition, there are players like Sollot, who, with his strength and height, are a powerful offensive weapon that we must use. This is almost what Simeone asked us.
