Elche: If you can defeat Atletico Madrid, it will be an important feat for us

Tiger Pulp, August 22, Elche head coach Edel Sarabia said at a press conference on Friday that if he can defeat his opponent at Atletico Madrid, it will be an important feat and a wonderful challenge for his team, whose team has never won at home in Madrid.

"We are ready, and the draw with Betis gives us a lot of confidence. To have a chance to succeed, we must have inspiration, courage, and know how to get through difficult moments. We are ready to deal with all Atletico Madrid plans, we must play a game that is extremely outstanding on both individual and collective levels to get points.

In addition, he acknowledged that a player like Baena's absence may have a little impact on Atletico Madrid's game, but he reminded that Atletico Madrid has many talented midfielders who cooperate with each other. Sarabia requires his players to have high effect, control the second landing point, and most importantly, know what to do when holding the ball, while also being alert to counterattacks and set-piece tactics after conceding the ball.

The coach asked Elche fans to support his team: "Because it is a big deal against Atletico Madrid at the Mets, we want to win in order to continue to improve. We have nothing to lose, but we have that ambition and hope that the fans will be proud of us”.
