Geoffrey kondogbia was one of the players of the Atlético de Madrid most prominent in Sunday’s match against the Vallecano Ray in the Metropolitan. The Frenchman gave a real display as a defensive midfielder, making up to 17 recoveries in the game, an absolute record for a footballer in this league.
At the end of the clash, the footballer was satisfied to be reunited with the victory after four consecutive defeats and made it clear that Atlético wants to go far in the competition in which it debuts this Thursday, January 6, the Copa del Rey, in which will measure at Rayo Majadahonda in the Metropolitan.
“That leaves you with a very good feeling. It’s always nice to win and even more so in front of our fans. The team did a good job, a serious game and achieved a deserved victory,” he said.
But you have to look ahead, and that’s where the Copa del Rey appears this week, a tournament in which Atlético is not meeting expectations in recent seasons. Now, Kondogbia hopes it will be different. “We are going to start with enthusiasm, it is a competition in which we always want to do something and we are going to work to try to win it, he said.
His main wish for 2022
Finally, Kondogbia expressed his wishes for 2022, the year that has just begun: “The first health and the rest, to work to achieve it.”
