Koke: Atlético Madrid Loss Blamed on Pitch Condition

Koke Resurrectioncaptain of the Atlético de Madridcomplained about the state of the stadium grass Metropolitan after the defeat against Betis (0-1).

The truth is that it is not good. We slip, he gets up. A team like Atlético needs the field to be good to play. We are required to have a level, but Atlético de Madrid needs a level field to play on, a level grass. The field doesn’t help. We can’t go to the first touch“, said the player to Movistar.

It’s a tough defeat. After the great game in the Cup, things have not worked out for us. Let it help us for Thursday and what’s to come. They had a closer game and played with a striker on the counter. Then they found themselves with Antony’s goal, which was a great goal.. They have played a great game. We have not been able to enter. We have hardly had any opportunities“added Koke Resurrección.

“We have not been able to be precise, when they close behind you like that it is difficult. We have not been able to go to the first touch. The field does not help us. It hurts us. We have to continue improving and on Thursday, for more. We wanted to be at the top of the league and this is pushing us away,” concluded the Atlético de Madrid midfielder.
