Atletico Madrid defender Juan Valera hopes that Sporting CP will take a positive approach on Thursday night when they travel to the Vicente Calderon for the first-leg of their Europa League round of 16 clash.
“We don’t know whether we should press, but I hope they come to play, take some risks and leave some space behind for us to attack,” he told clubatleticodemadrid.com.
"Sporting are a great team and have quality players. They are sure to make it tough for us."
Atletico have been in good form in this season’s cup competitions, beating Galatasaray in the last round of the Europa League while also booking their ticket to the Copa del Rey final.
However, their league form has been as erratic as ever and Valera concluded by saying they will continue to fight domestically in order to finish as high as possible in La Liga.
“We have not done enough to get the points required to be higher in the league, although there are still many points to be won. We can't relax in any game of any competition, but there are plenty of league games left.”
