Tiger Poker 08/19 News Marcos Llorente, who has just renewed his contract with Atletico until 2027, was interviewed by the club's official website
Talk about renewal
I'm happy because my desire when I joined Atletico was to play here for many years and this renewal makes me and my family happy and I'm eager to cash in on the pitch for the club's investment in me.
Talk about personal progress
To be honest I didn't know things were going to go so well, my football had a complete transformation and a complete change in the way I played. Together with everyone, the team won this league, which is really, very important for the club. I was also able to be recruited into the national team, which is also very important for a player. I didn't know things would go so well in the first place.
Like I said, my football has changed drastically, and a lot of people, including myself, didn't know I had a layer of offensive attributes. Goals and assists are great experiences so you can help the team achieve their goals. Hopefully, things will continue to do so in the coming years.
Talk about clubs
I am very satisfied with the planning of the club in recent years. Everything is done very well, and under the difficulties of the epidemic, the competitiveness of the team is still improving. And the reward of all this hard work is the league championship we won before. We can certainly continue this upward trajectory.
Talk about goals
On an individual level, my goal is to continue to help the team as much as I can, to serve the team, and that's most importantly, to help the team win the championship, just like the league title we just won.
Collectively, hopefully the team will continue to be united, continue to walk our path and fight for the club's goals.
Talk about the fans
I can only be thankful for them, and I am forever grateful for the acceptance they received me in the first year of my arrival, and that year was not easy. This past year of winning the championship, we missed the fans. We also hope they are here to celebrate the victory with us. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys back on the pitch and seeing you all this weekend. We need you because you are an indispensable and important part of us.
