Alvarez: We need this kind of winning streak to boost our confidence, but we still need to improve on set pieces

In the 12th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Levante 3-1 at home. Atletico Madrid forward Alvarez accepted an interview with the media after the game.

Situation of the game

We played a very exciting game. We had a bad start to the season and we need such a winning streak to boost our confidence. Now the team is in good shape and we must maintain this momentum.

About set pieces

This is an area we need to improve, including the offensive end. We were given plenty of corner kicks but we knew all the teams were well prepared and any defensive mistake could result in an equalizer, as happened today. But we controlled the tempo of the game and finally scored.

Substitution adjustment

The substitution was perfect. Griezmann scored a goal with his first touch of the ball after coming on. Teamwork is crucial, and the appearance of substitute players gave us extra motivation. To stabilize the situation we needed a third goal and then we took control of the game.

The momentum of winning streak at home

The whole team has taken advantage of the momentum and must maintain this momentum. Now we are entering the offseason, but after returning, we must continue to win and work hard in all competitions.
