Diego Costa: “We are going to give our lives to conquer the dream title”

The return of football: After soccer returns now, it has nothing to do with what we live. Right now it's something totally different. Now a party without an audience, without the people, is something that is happening. Matches against Liverpool, which have been to enter history, the most beautiful thing that has been lived here for quite some time. We know that it has already happened, that people have created many expectations with us and we will try to reciprocate people and get plugged in to do something nice and hopefully we will have a good game and that luck will also be with us.

Play in a single match the Champions: It does not give us peace of mind because we know it is a tie, it is a unique match. It is a very complicated game. The truth is that the team was fine during the break and when it came back. The team has responded to what people normally expect of us, which is compete, win matches and be among the top so it was. We know that we are in a very good dynamic and we must know that the Champions is another championship, another world. It is clear that we are motivated, the desire we have that no one is going to take away from us. Hopefully we are lucky that we had in the return.

Leipzig: They They have a great team, they play very wellI have often seen the games of the German league because I like it. It is a team that plays the ball very well and He knows what he does. And the best thing is that they have reached the rooms and they don't have the pressure or the responsibility. It is clear that dreams and the illusion is not taken away from any player, even if a club has a different objective, who believes that fighting for something very big is not his thing. We, the players, have the desire and the illusion of always being on top. It will be a difficult game, I think it will be a difficult game, we have to be very very concentrated to be able to move it forward. If you imagine that we have a bad game, if we played two games we could turn around in the next one, but A single party can happen anything. I think it's very even because it is the same for everyone.

The lesions: The truth is that injuries are not making me happy because I'm in a great club where there are good recuperators and we have doctors and physios, who are very human people and help us a lot when something like this happens, as complicated as having an injury. But hey I keep the good, put on my boots, come back in the game against Liverpool, enter 10 minutes and the stadium receives me in the way it has received me. The truth is that it has been one of the most beautiful things I have experienced in this club. I'm left with that, that there are bad things that serve the good. I think a reception like this has been unique and may have been due to injuries.

Confinement: With what is happening to us, what we are experiencing, it is a very complicated situation, very rare. When we were stopped by the virus, I took the opportunity to catch my tone, to improve, to be physically better and not let time pass.. I think that, within the difficulties, you have to take advantage and get the good things. I prepared myself to return, to be able to play games, not to suffer injuries because there were many games in a row, one after another. I mentalized myself because I wanted to get back well and be able to get a sequence to get physical, which is what I have been looking for for a while here when I have returned.

The illusion of the hobby: We the players we can't take the illusion away from people, to the fans, of all that they have felt for a time due to the unhappiness that we could not get the title. People are excited, but they have to know that we have a very difficult team and that if we pass, we will have another very difficult team and if we reach the final we will have another very very difficult team. People have to be patient, you have to know that it is not easy, it never has been and now it will not be either. That people are excited, that they have positive energy. You have to be excited and want things to happen, but also your feet on the ground because it is not easy.

A message for followers: The message to people is thank them for all that our history has been for years. The one of Atleti It is the best hobby in the world and with them it would be much easier. It is different to have them behind, it drives us a lot. It is a negative point for us not to have our people next to us, but that people are at home vibrating. It depends on us and the desire and enthusiasm we have. We are going to give our lives to conquer the dreamed title; Hopefully we will have this year and we can give that joy to people, because they more than us deserve it. I would be very happy to win for the people, which for a long time is a dream that they have been having. We have it too, but I think they deserve it more than we do.
