Colombia's Luis Perea, Atletico Madrid defender, acknowledged today that it is "very difficult" to reach the Champions League places, but warned that his team will not give up "nothing" and admitted that not completing the League top four classification would be a "failure." Saturday's victory against Villarreal has left Atletico set to twelve points in the fourth, just held the yellow team.
"While we have a mathematical chance, however difficult it may seem, we will not give up anything," he said today at a press conference after training. "It is true that we have to go game by game and that is very complicated, but I still think that not being in the Champions League, in sports, is a failure," continued central He added: "It is difficult, but there we are.
Two years ago, won eight of ten games and why not do it again. Everything happens for every Sunday and go to Almeria is an important test. " Perea, in any event, admitted the irregularity of his team. "The time I've been here have been years of ups and downs, peaks very important and very low peaks, but the team has historically been the case.
I do not remember this team, unfortunately, a typical year, having been ranked ahead of targets . And we're here just to change it. Right now, we are happy, the streak has certainly changed the life we \u200b\u200bplay the next game, "he said. Atlético reach Almería on Saturday after two wins and two draws in their last four games." In the small crisis results we had is obvious that people had lost confidence.
The most important thing was to win again and there have been victories and ties is certainly not helped us to be better in qualifying, "she added." But we had a little luck that those above have lost and have not kept sliding down , so we have to think more about us. If we do our good, we are sure that some will fall and we can come, "continued Perea, whose team is just three points behind fifth place in the table.
The latest positive results have allowed Atletico to miss a run of four losing streak and live a quiet week. "It was necessary. It was complicated, there were many defeats in very little time and a team like this does not hold, especially the goals set at the beginning of the season. Now, victory greatly strengthened and we must look forward, "he said.
On Saturday visit the Mediterranean Games Stadium, which has never won, with a loss and two draws in their previous three in that field." Both of them as we play a lot. History is to change and, although Atletico have not won there on Saturday may be the opportunity, "he said." We have to think and go to every match like a final, thinking that every play has to be definitive, because we have no margin for error.
We've been wrong a lot, we lost many points and now we have to play to the limit, "he added. The Argentinean Sergio 'Kun' Agüero and José Antonio Reyes will face this battle with four cards, so more would prevent a yellow derby play the next day against Real Madrid, but Perea said that would be a mistake that both play too cautiously for that reason.
"I do not go through your head this. The biggest game is what we have to Almeria and we must win to keep growing. They are aware that life at stake in Almeria, "he concluded.
