Cork: Atletico Madrid is by no means a conservative person. I will step down when I feel I am no longer suitable.

Atel Malaysia's entire team is preparing for pre-season in Los Angeles, USA. Captain Cork accepted an exclusive interview with Sell Radio, during which he talked about Atletico's signings and his new role.

How is Atletico Madrid's pre-season training?

"It really requires more preparation, the players have to be in a better shape. I rested and relaxed this summer because last season was so hard. I feel very good now and hope to have a great season."

Is there any change in pre-season training this time?

"Something changes because we have a new physical coach, but the intensity and enthusiasm of the training are the same."

fans are full of expectations for this pre-season training. "After a long season, I'm glad to see the fans full of expectations again. I've never seen so many fans support us, which is great. Hopefully we can repay them with victory and championship in the new season."

What happened in April and May last season?

"The season is very long, and we lack vitality and luck in the final stage. For example, when we were against Barcelona at home, we were equalized with a 2-0 lead, and there was also a penalty shootout with Real Madrid. These games changed the situation, and luck did not stand on our side."

How do you view the newly joined players?

"Usually when you come to a new environment, you don't know how to perform. The competition here is more intense, playing for Villarreal is different from playing for Atletico Madrid, because the rivals of the Bedding Legion are strong teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. There are a lot of changes in the locker room, and we need to know each other and build trust. Baena and Almada are both talented and they bring a lot of surprises to the team... These are the fresh blood we need."

The goal is to compete for all the honors

"Obviously, our goal is to fight for the highest honor. Although we are facing two strong opponents, we will still give it our all. We want to reach a higher level."

What do you think about those who call you conservatives?

"We are by no means conservatives, we will do our best to win every game."

How do you view your role at Atletico Madrid?

"My motivation is stronger than ever. Although I didn't play many important games last year, I can still contribute. Unfortunately, I was injured at that critical moment. But now I'm motivated again, and fans want us to go further and play offensive football, and I think we can do it. I have this desire and passion to help the team." Will Cork continue?

"I reached an agreement with the club and if I was in good shape and met certain conditions, I would go on. I would step down when I felt I was no longer suitable, but I would be here until then."

What do you think of fans fighting for Alvarez's penalty?

"Their actions are admirable because they are fighting for justice. We were all stunned on the court at the time, and this situation was unprecedented."
