In the Madrid derby, Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 5-2, and Alvarez became the best player in the game. After the game, he was interviewed and talked about the game and what he expected from the team.
Is this your best afternoon at Atletico Madrid?
This is a very special day. We know this game is a big deal because it's a derby and because we need to score three points at home to close the gap with the leader. We are very happy.
What did the coach say during the intermission?
We basically control the game. They quickly scored two goals, but the team did not stop trying and kept on attacking. We have been creating a lot of opportunities before, and today, but we have seized the opportunity and that's why we can win this victory.
Let's talk about that penalty kick...What was you thinking about at that time?
After all, every penalty is a brand new moment, a new game, a new opportunity. I decided to shoot hard in that direction. This ball is important because it allows us to take the lead in the score. That's why everyone celebrated so happily. We also successfully expanded our lead afterwards.
Where is that free kick?
We sometimes practice this. I've been in a pretty good shape with a free kick recently. Gonzalez and I stood together at that time, and I asked him if he wanted to punish him from the outside. He said "Okay", then said "No, you'd better punish me." Finally we made a good decision. Where is the upper limit for Atletico Madrid?
We will continue to follow this path, improve where we need to improve, and strive to maintain a clean sheet... Our results were not ideal at the beginning of the season, but we created many opportunities, and were the team with the most opportunities in La Liga and ranked among the top in Europe. What we lacked before was the ability to seize opportunities, and hope we can continue to maintain it.
