00:00Here is our leader Alexander Sorlo.
00:03Questions for Alexander.
00:04Here, Maria.
00:06Hi, Alexander.
00:07Maria Relaño from Televisión Española.
00:09On Saturday you were giving the 100 match award.
00:13Next one isn't a very perfect number, it's 104,
00:18but how would you be personally for you your perfect match?
00:22It's something you hope for.
00:24Let's introduce.
00:24The other day, Alex, you've completed your 100 match with the Atletico Madrid.
00:30The next match will be very special, right?
00:32Yeah, and this is something that I'm looking forward to before I came here to play a lot of games
00:40for Atletico Madrid.
00:41So it's a great honor.
00:42And of course, you always want to play the perfect game.
00:45It doesn't always happen, but it's always what you strive to do.
00:50I've always wanted to play these types of special matches.
00:54It's what I've always wanted and I'm very excited.
00:59Hello, Alexander.
01:00Antonio Ruiz, in direct, in DeportesCope, CadenaCope.
01:03If it's possible, we would ask you all a favor for a phrase, although it's in Spanish,
01:07for the audience, which is in direct.
01:09It's the time of the truth.
01:10How is the team?
01:15Now we are feeling really good.
01:19We're hoping to win the game.
01:21And everybody's ready.
01:23It's in English.
01:24It's in English.
01:27We are very good and, evidently, we want to win the game.
01:52It's something we don't think too much about.
01:55We have more focus on ourselves.
01:56What we are going to do.
01:59That's the most important thing.
02:00And then, yeah, people from the outside are always going to put favorites
02:03and who is going to win the game.
02:06But, yeah, we are only focused on ourselves.
02:10No pensamos si somos favoritos o no.
02:12Pensamos simplemente en nosotros y en hacer nuestro partido.
02:17Hi, Alex.
02:18Alex Ashmore, First Sporty TV.
02:20We talked on Saturday about these are the sort of games
02:22you said you want to play in as a footballer.
02:24How do you relish the challenge of facing defenders like Gabriel Magalaj and Saliba?
02:29And how do you plan to deal with what they do?
02:32I like these games.
02:34Not only is it a big game.
02:36A lot of guys are watching.
02:38But this, like I said, this is the games you want to play as a football player.
02:42The big games.
02:43And also to play against a really good team.
02:46I try not to think too much about who I'm facing, the types of central defenders.
02:50I'm more focused on myself.
02:52But I know it's going to be a great battle and I'm looking forward to it.
02:56The question is that these are the games that you want to play and you want to play against defenders
03:04like Saliba or Gabriel.
03:07And the answer is that these are the games that are effectively important and the players and the players that
03:13we want to play against.
03:25I think the pressure is a privilege because that means that as a club you have done really well.
03:37You have gotten far.
03:38So I think people handle it differently, of course.
03:41But for me, pressure is a privilege because then you're playing the big games and this is what you want
03:46to do as a football player.
03:48I think the pressure is a privilege.
03:50It means that we have done very well as a team and as a club.
03:54And these are the games that we want to play.
03:56So I have to feel this pressure because, as I say, it's a privilege.
04:00In the center.
04:03Hello, Alex.
04:13I was so so happy for Alex's game because I know, I think more than almost anyone, that's the types
04:20of things he can do on the pitch.
04:22And it can be difficult to adjust here in Atletico because it's a different way of playing and then he
04:26was used to from Yare Al.
04:29And yeah, I was so happy for him.
04:30And he gave me an assist, amazing assist as well.
04:33Got flashbacks from the time in Villarreal we had together.
04:36So I was really, really happy for him and especially happy that he gave me an assist.
05:00Alex, hello from The Guardian.
05:01I wonder if there's a player like you a kind of a personal element to a game like this.
05:06I don't know if you, for example, speak to Martin Erdegaard.
05:08If you still got friends at Crystal Palace, if there's any kind of personal connection for you that takes it
05:14beyond just the normal professional preparation for a match.
05:17It doesn't, to be honest.
05:18I just prepare like I always do.
05:21Before my career, I would do different things to try and find out what was best for me.
05:25And the last, I would say, five, six years I'm basically prepared the same every time.
05:30It just gives me a good feeling and I stay relaxed before the game.
05:34I try not to think about the game until match day and preferably a couple of hours before the game.
05:40Because that means I'm totally fresh for the game.
05:43The question is if these games are prepared in a different way.
05:48Alex says that before, when he was younger in his career, he did other types of things.
05:53But now he always prepares them the same.
05:54He prefers not to think about the game until the day of the game.
05:58Because that's how he feels better.
06:02Hi Alex, Javier de Diego, Radio Nacional de España.
06:05I would like to ask you how much you're worried every time you don't get out of the title?
06:11And how does Cholo do you to get back in dynamic?
06:16We have a lot of games during the season.
06:20We spoke about earlier that I already have 100 games for Atletico.
06:23That means we play a lot of a lot of games.
06:25That means rotation is, I think, almost mandatory.
06:29At the same time, of course, you want to play.
06:31I want to play if I could choose.
06:34Don't think about my body.
06:35I would play 90 minutes every single game.
06:37I think that's what all football players want to do.
06:41But when you're outside of the 11, you still have to think about the team.
06:45To help the team and to do your best possible on the pitch.
06:51We have many games.
06:53The show of them is that I already have 100 games with Atletico Madrid.
06:56So, to run is obligatory.
06:58Evidently, I always wanted to play 90 minutes.
07:01But it's important to also think about the team and help from outside.
07:05The last question, Belen, to the left.
07:08Hello, Alex.
07:09To be the last one, I'll try to see if we can speak Spanish.
07:13So, to understand the people.
07:15Now, without that card of favorites and without that weight,
07:18as in the last final, what motives have you to believe in Atletico?
07:23Motivos.
07:24It's to win, of course, and play a good game.
07:28And we know that it's two games.
07:31The first Wednesday.
07:33And we want a good result.
07:35And, yes, a good result here.
07:39And to win in London.
07:44Thank you very much.
07:45Thank you very much.
07:46Alex, in a minute, we'll see you next time.
