Diego Costa played 200 games as a rojiblanco last Wednesday at El Sadar And this morning he was honored by the club: he received from Koke the commemorative plaque of those 200 games at the Wanda Metropolitano, where the team trained for the last time before taking on Valladolid. It was more than three months since the last time.
“It is an honor to do 200 games with Atleti. When I arrived I wanted to play, to feel importantI never imagined doing so many games. Thank God I had the chance and the happiness to do it.“He declared, excited, who is already on his own merits one of the most iconic strikers in the history of the club. Forever the 36 goals he scored in that season of the last League that Atlético won in 2014.
He also talked about what it will be like to play in a Metropolitan without an audience, in what will be the first game for the rojiblancos in this restart in their field, although without an audience. “We all know that our hobby is the best in Spain, in the world. You will notice not having the heat of the people, but we know we have to do it. It is a very important game, we have nine finals to win, we have to leave with the mentality as if people were here to get the three points, which will be fundamental to our goal. “
