Atletico Madrid star concerns fans with comments on future – ‘We’ll talk when it’s time to talk’

Atletico Madrid captain Koke Resurreccion has concerned fans by failing to give a decisive answer on his future this summer. The 34-year-old has a rolling contract at Atletico, but has again been among their best players this season, earning a starting spot in midfield.

Following their Champions League elimination at the hands of Arsenal, Koke took the responsibility to speak to the press in the flash interview after the game. He was frustrated with their inability to take their chances.

“We’re gutted, but I’m proud of the team. We gave it our all. We had chances, but the ball just wouldn’t go in. The same thing happened in the first leg. We put them under pressure at many points. Football is about clinical finishing, and they were more clinical. Deserved winners,” he told Movistar+.

“At the Metropolitano and here, we had chances to take the lead and then to equalize. That’s football; you have to be clinical in both penalty areas.”

‘The group is growing, this season is encouragaging’ – Koke

Like Jan Oblak, who also expressed his frustration with their first half performances, Koke was largely positive about the season as a whole.

“That we tried. When you give it your all and the ball doesn’t go in, you can’t complain.” The team went for the win, but it wasn’t to be,” he commented on Diego Simeone’s speech, before assessing the season as a whole.
