There are always things to improve. The team continues to seek becoming better with each game. We were saying some time ago that the new players needed time to adapt. Conor is doing very well, Lenglet is in a very good moment, Sorloth is doing great, and Julián is in a fantastic phase. We are waiting for Robin, who will have to compete to earn a spot.

Time. All footballers need time, and those with hierarchy need to be waited for. Since he started, Julián has been progressing. He has been growing in his ability to interpret how Atlético plays. He comes from a different style in Argentina, and also completely different at City. He needed his time. Atlético is this, and he interprets it better each time. All his characteristics are very beneficial for our team.

What are the key points to avoid falling?

Maintaining humility and the noble intention to continue seeking more, to want to grow. In the second half, we could have done a bit more with substitutions, but I am happy with what the team is giving. With humility, everything is possible.

Is there something that worries you right now?

Now more than ever, everything. Everything that surrounds us. Keeping calm and continuing to work. We knew, when the situation was not so favorable a month ago, that we needed time. Now we must continue along this path without deviating.

He is hungry, a player who is at an age where he knows what he wants in football and came to contribute where he was needed. At first, he didn't play to enhance his virtues, of which there are many. He understood the way we played. He has a great footwork, a good touch, and hopefully, he can continue to maintain this. Anything that adds is good for us, it adds competition, and that makes me happy. It is more difficult to add decisions, but it is better for the club.
