10,000 fans attended the Colombian striker’s presentation this evening at Atleti’s Vicente Calderon stadium.

Jackson Martínez was officially presented this evening as an Atletico Madrid player at the Calderon in front of approximately 10.000 supporters (with a high presence of Colombian fans). Before entering the field of play and showcasing a repertoire of ball trickery to the delight of the fans, the Colombian spoke to the assembled media in the press area.

General feelings: “I feel that I’m at a team with high demands and hunger for success. The training staff demands the maximum and I feel we are building a great squad”.

How do you rate your team mates: “Torres, Vietto and Griezmann are spectacular players. They’ve evolved as players and Vietto is a player with a great future ahead”.

Simeone: “He is a hard worker. You know this well (directed at the press). He transmits confidence to all the squad”.

Being the second most expensive signing in Atleti’s history: “The only pressure I’m under is to give 100% in every game and training session. My price tag carries no pressure. I want to pay back the club for signing me”.

Convinced of choosing to come to Atlético: “It was a complicated situation with alternative offers. But in the end I felt that the offer from Atleti was the most serious, transparent and concrete”.

Competing in La Liga: “Atlético are certainly candidates to challenge for the title. The squad is being really well strengthened. Messi and Cristiano are certainly two players who make a difference in La Liga”

How many goals will you score this season?: “How many interviews will you conduct this season? No-one knows. I can only promise hard work”.
