Second Atletico Madrid player opens up on poor form - 'You know when you play well or badly'

Atletico Madrid looked as if they had found the answer to Kieran Trippier’s departure on the right flank midway through last season, as Nahuel Molina started to fly down the wing. Yet the Argentine has struggled to put that form together this season.

“It is very difficult to maintain the same level all the time, I think there are few players who have done it. Obviously I work so that it does not happen to me or that it happens to me as little as possible, having games where one does not feel comfortable, you don’ feel completely confident. I try to quickly get that out of me, what I feel, to always try to be good for the team,” he told Relevo.

After Atletico qualfied for the Champions League quarter-finals against Inter, Saul Niguez put out a public statement acknowledging his poor form, and promising to keep giving his all to improve. Molina also admitted that his form affects him mentally, and nobody is more aware of it than he is.

“The way I play doesn’t change, it shows in how I feel when I’ve missed easy or consecutive passes, when you put a cross in that you know you shouldn’t have. These are things that raise alarm, in my case, I don’t know about others People, if you do well, they will applaud you, and if you put the cross in badly, they will tell you to play it better, that is logical and it has to be like that. You realise when you play badly and when you play well. You have to be self-critical and know that not everything is always going to turn out well for you.”

Tomorrow, all together. AUPA ATLETI SIEMPRE ❤️
