In the summer warm-up match held in the early morning of this morning, Atletico Madrid lost 0-1 away to Porto. Atletico Madrid captain Cork was interviewed after the game.

What do you think of this game?

We are gradually entering the rhythm of the game. We have been training for two weeks before and the workload is very heavy. Now we will gradually find the rhythm of the game and welcome the first round of La Liga against Espanyol in the best condition.

How do you think Atletico Madrid performs?

Obviously we still have many aspects to improve, but we also have some aspects that are doing well. We must later analyze the game video to find and improve the shortcomings. The most important thing is to improve the intensity and rhythm of the game and gradually reach the best state.

What do you think of the team's lineup?

There are some players in our team who are very high-level, and there are some young players who are full of enthusiasm and desire to come here. They know they are here at Atletico, we have to keep moving forward to achieve our goals and most importantly fight for great achievements, which is what we all want to do.

What is the mental outlook of the entire team at present?

Everyone is full of desire and fighting spirit. Today is our first warm-up match this summer, we lost, and everyone wants to see a more dynamic and new-looking team, but we need to find the rhythm of the game, and our training has been very intense over the past two weeks, and I believe we will do it next.

What do you think of the new players Cardoso and Baenna introduced by Atletico Madrid this summer?

They are all very capable players who can make a great contribution to us and they will bring the vitality and strength we need. I hope they all go well because it's the best for teammates and the team.

What is Atletico Madrid's goal in the new season?

Our goal is to try to win and fight for everything, but be patient, this is just the first warm-up match this summer. We have a long time to go before the end of the season in May next year.

There is no excuse for Atletico Madrid? The

club has grown a lot and we all want to fight for great honors.

In the game, you will take the initiative to put pressure on your opponent

Sometimes you can press at high positions, sometimes you need to defend in the midfield, and sometimes you may be suppressed by your opponent to the backcourt. We have some young players who can put pressure on our opponents in the frontcourt, which is Atletico Madrid's tactical philosophy. But I don't want to reveal too many details to avoid providing clues to my opponents for coping.
