There are two doubts. I don't know how they are. We'll see if they are available. One I think so, the other they will tell me later. It's nothing serious. If they don't get to this one, they will get to the next one.
We are lacking freshness in attack, for the people at the top to find their point, their ideal. Let's hope we find it. I'm talking about returning to being the Alavés that we have seen, of hunger, of strength, of believing and playing football well. There is zero doubt. The team is completely remade.
I was looking forward to them qualifying for the Champions League. It would have been a much less difficult rival. It was a bad result for this match. Atlético is Atlético and has only one competition left. They are having a hard time finding that balance, and they are not bad in terms of goals conceded, but it is not that solvency. I think Simeone is looking to be more protected with five, with two full-backs who are projected, and, up top, they have a lot of quality.
We have had an impact on that work, we have to recover the feeling that each cross into the area is an option to score a goal.
