Cleber Santana: Atletico Must Look Forward After Derby Defeat To Real Madrid
Los Colchoneros must quickly forget yet another reverse behind them...
Nov 8, 2009 12:07:12 PM
Cleber Santana believes that Atletico de Madrid must look forward after losing the local derby on Saturday evening and work on eliminating the errors from their game.
The Brazilian midfielder took little consolation from the home team's attempted comeback against Real Madrid at the Vicente Calderon and instead rued the errors made.
Atletico fell three goals behind before scoring two late goals to set up a thrilling finale, but Cleber feels that the team only stepped up a level once the visitors had a player sent off.
"The red card to Sergio Ramos made us play with more intensity, but we were unable to find a way to the equaliser," he was quoted as saying byt he club's official website.
"We could not do anything about Real Madrid’s first goal, but for the second we made the mistake of not being all together, allowing Marcelo to arrive at the goal all alone.
"Now we have to focus on Tuesday’s match [against Marbella in the Copa del Rey] and I think that collectively, we’ll pull ourselves out of this situation.”
