Koke: “It takes an almost perfect game to beat Bayern”

Koke, Atlético captain, spoke to the media in the run-up to Bayern's visit. The rojiblanco is in a good moment, just like the team, and he hopes “that the ball enters” to be able to take the three points.

Atlético grows in the face of adversity.

I only think about the team winning. Tomorrow we have another beautiful opportunity to play against a great rival with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm. I only think about the team, about helping and tomorrow is a nice opportunity to add three points that we need.

Are we facing the best Koke?

They are stages. We grow as people, but I don't stop at myself. The important thing is the team to achieve collective and then individual goals. It is the most relevant to achieve the objectives we have in the present and in the future.

It is difficult for them to score goals …

What matters here is to score goals, you can play very well and have a lot of possession, but the important thing is the goal. We will see if we are lucky like on Saturday we scored a goal, even if it was our own goal, we are creating chances and I hope we have that fortune.

Bayern arrives with many absences.

We play against Bayern, not against names. It's a great team, the people who play the least are going to have a lot of enthusiasm to please the coach and gain a gap, important people have stayed in Munich and whoever plays is going to be difficult. We think about the team, not the names.

Is Bayern unbeatable? What do you have to do to beat him?

Let the ball in, score more goals than them. In the first leg we had chances and things to improve and I hope they don't happen again. You have to play an almost perfect game to beat Bayern, they haven't lost for a long time and hopefully the streak will be broken tomorrow.

What can be the keys? There the team took a 4-0 without doing it wrong …

They are game situations. They were much more effective and that changes the game a lot. It is not the same to start winning than losing. The chances we had there we hope to improve them to win the game.

They look looser with three centrals.

You have to adapt, we play in any way and we want to do our best. Whatever the formation, we try to play, do what the coach asks of us and we are all at a high level, we are feeling comfortable.

Why not dream of the Champions League?

Tonight we will dream of beating Bayern.
