Oblak: “It will be more difficult, there are teams for which their fans do not mean as much as ours …”

Oblak, one of Atlético's captains, attended the media at a telematic press conference. The goalkeeper appreciated the moment of the team, recalled the appointment of Anfield and points to the desire that Germán Burgos go with the Champions.

How would you assess if the club proposes a pay cut?

We are in a delicate moment. Not only in soccer, but the whole world. We are seeing how things are resolved, it is difficult to speak and know what will come, but we are with the club, we are all together. Let's see what is coming …

Was Anfield's game the best he has ever played? Do you feel like a candidate for the Ballon d'Or?

The last game I played I did quite well, I don't know if the best one or there were other better ones. It was an important game, we won, but it wasn't just me on the field, although it was a good performance. I do not know if the best, I have played many games for Atlético, some better, others less, but it is one of the most important I have played … I never thought about the Ballon d'Or. I train, play, try to improve and then journalists are the ones who think, write and talk about me. The more they talk about me, the better, I will work to improve. At the end of my career I will be happy and as far as I go. We will see if I have got what I wanted.

How about playing Champions in a single venue?

Those responsible are managing all the options and whatever it is we are going to fulfill. The best thing would be to play outside and at home with the public, but it is impossible. Let's see what happens, hopefully things will improve and we will find the best solution. I am open to everything, I am a professional and we will comply with what they tell us.

In Germany we are seeing many goals …

I don't know what will happen, for all the teams it will be difficult, you have to take shape… It's almost like a new preseason. Training at home alone is not the same as training on the field with the ball and with the team. We are going to see how everything happens. Hopefully we do not receive many goals, I am the one who least wants it.

Can it be the year of Atleti?

It is a rare season, what has happened nobody expected and has affected everyone. We are happy to be able to train again, a month ago we were still in doubt and now we are here with the whole team. It will not be the same to play without people, but the important thing is to end the season. Hopefully we can do it in the best way and go as far as possible and even win. The best thing would be to play with the fans, who are one more player for us. But it cannot and we have to assume it.

What does Atlético lose without Burgos?

Germán is a legend of the club, he has been here for many years and is the right hand man for Cholo. Many things that he does from the outside are not seen, but it is an important piece of this project. He wants to be champion and hopefully he can deliver.

Eleven finals …

Now we are not in the positions we want and it will not be easy. It has been a long break, but for everyone. In each game it is necessary to enter as in a final.

What worries more about Athletic and Osasuna?

When we started training together, we first thought about ourselves and now we are already analyzing more rivals. In a match you are concerned about everything, we try to prepare it as well as possible and we will be ready for these two matches. We must try to win in Bilbao, because we need points.

Is this Champions worth less?

Each title is worth the same. This year I think it will be more complicated, there are teams for which the fans do not mean as much as for us, who give us life. But it does not change the value of a Champions.

Gabi as second of Cholo.

I have a spectacular relationship with Gabi. We have been in contact since he left, but we have never discussed this topic. Germán is still here and we'll see when the season ends. Gabi is a legend and probably in a short time she will return and we will all be delighted.

Does the fifth Zamora motivate you?

I have never thought much about the Zamora, although there is a lot of talk. This year there is Courtois and two or three more goalkeepers who are having a spectacular season. I'm not worried about Zamora, just going into Champions League positions, finishing where we want. If I do a good 11 days it could be, but I don't think about it. I prefer to score goals rather than not concede them.
