Cork on the draw: Atletico played well today, but there is room for improvement

Atletico Madrid captain Coque was interviewed by Movistar+ after the match against Villarreal

What are your feelings about this draw:

Honestly we worked hard to win, it's true that we made mistakes in the opponent's goal, we didn't do a good job of pressing, and the opponent took their chance. But I think in the first half we still played very well, played very tightly and created a lot of opportunities. The second half was pretty much the same, and we equalized anyway.

You are not satisfied with the referee today:

Well, the referee did a good job today. He did what he could, and that was enough, there was no need to blame the referee for the decision. At the end of the day, what we play is to focus on doing our own thing well, and if we keep thinking about referees, we can't get around for a whole season.

Usually it is said that your scoring is a big problem, but today you unusually created a lot of scoring opportunities in the first half, a lot of corners, a lot of goals, but strangely, your goals came only when you were about to lose the game:

The team played well today and created a lot of chances, if not I would be worried, but the team's performance has room to improve. We have played 3 league games so far, some of them are late, some of them have played in the European Cup, and some of them are because of the Copa America, so we have to slowly get back to the rhythm of the game. We're definitely going to get back in shape this week and then everything will be fine.

What happened to the team in the second half:

It's very simple, the opponent is also playing, they played well, the second half is actually similar, there is nothing particularly good to explain.

Despite this, will Atletico want to continue today's performance in the future:

Definitely keep working hard, as I've already said, and we still have a lot of room to improve. Of course we have a lot to improve, but we also have something to do very well, such as creating a lot of opportunities in the first half and playing good football. I think the team is not bad.
