Cerezo: Koke’s 700 appearances for Atletico are amazing and he hopes to win the championship this season

In the 13th round of La Liga this morning, Atletico Madrid defeated Getafe 1-0 away from home. After the game, Atletico Madrid president Cerezo presented Koke with a signed commemorative jersey with 700 appearances. Cerezo also accepted an interview.

This game is Kok's 700th game on behalf of Atletico Madrid. He is the first player in Atletico Madrid's history to achieve this achievement. After the game, the entire Atletico Madrid team signed a jersey, and President Cerezo presented the commemorative jersey to Koke.

President Cerezo first said: "All the teammates wanted to give Koke a small gift. It is great that they signed this jersey to commemorate his 700th game at Atletico Madrid. This is an incredible number, and I think Atletico Madrid may never play again. There will be other players who can reach this number. It is really amazing that Koke can play 700 games. He is a great person, an excellent player and most importantly, he is a real Atletico man."

President Cerezo continued: "In the next round we will be the best. In the La Liga match against Real Oviedo, our fans will witness the commemorative ceremony live. We will produce a commemorative medal for Cork with 700 games. As I just said, this appearance number is difficult to achieve at Atletico Madrid or any other club. As people would say in this situation, I hope he can set more records."

However, Cerezo himself has experienced more games as Atletico Madrid president. He took office earlier than Koke entered the Atletico Madrid first team, and even earlier than Simeone coached Atletico Madrid. Cerezo said: "Yes, I once counted 1,000 games since I became president, but I stopped counting after that, and now I don't know how many games there are."

Then Cerezo also talked about this victory: "This is the 3 points we urgently need, and it is very important for us to continue to compete for the championship. We must continue to wait, continue to play, continue to win, and score more points in every game. If we cannot get points, then "It's not good enough."

Chairman Cerezo finally expressed his hope to win the trophy this season, "We are very happy, the team is in good shape. We will fight for all competitions, we need a championship now, I believe they have the mentality to win. I really feel that the team is very good and the coach is very good. I think we are really ready to fight for victory and try our best to achieve good results this season."
