The Atleti defender also congratulated Arda “I found out on social media. It doesn’t surprise me and I’m happy for him,” he said.

The Atleti defender also congratulated Arda “I found out on social media. It doesn’t surprise me and I’m happy for him,” he said.

Pre-season: “We’ve actually started really strongly. You can see it every day. A hard pre-season but then we’re a hard team. We like to work hard and push it to the limit, or go beyond it. It’s going pretty well.”

Arda’s move to Barcelona: “I found out on social media, through a friend that wrote to me straight away. I’m not surprised one bit because he’s a huge player and Barcelona are full of great players and that’s what they normally sign, big players. The first thing I did was phone him to congratulate him. I’m really happy for him. I wish him all the best.”

The return of Filipe Luis: “I’d love him to come back. He’s a great friend and has been a good team-mate. He’s another atleti player. As always, some people will think he isn’t but I think he is. I think he'll receive a warm welcome at the Calderón because he worked his socks off when he was here."

Vietto: “He’s finding it a little tricky but that’s normal. He’s a young guy and has come in from another club, with a different mentality and philosophy, but bit by bit he’ll adapt to the players and the gaffer. I’ve seen him play and he’s got amazing quality; players with a lot of quality normally adapt really well sooner or later."

Role in defence: “I’ll go forward as much as I can and I’ll defend as much as I can. In this team we all work hard, attacking and defending. As I always say, the gaffer is going to get the best out of all of us.”

Fitness: “I feel better every year, both mentally and physically, and it’s something I carry inside with a lot of optimism. I always think that every year I’m going to be better, perform better and this year will be no different. I’m going to play better than last season for sure.”
