Atletico Madrid coach Quique Sanchez Flores was pleased with his side's positive attitude toward their Copa del Rey quarter-final second leg match against rivals Real Madrid.Los Merengues had a two-goal lead coming into the return leg, but Los Colchoneros never gave up and had a strong crowd supporting them throughout the match.
"Our mentality approaching this match was very positive," the coach told Marca post-match. "We pushed hard and tried to play football against a team that made things hard for us.
"We have to thank the fans who dreamed all week that we could won, and this has contributed to the match being played at a high level. We had the attitude, intensity and presence to do well.
"I thought this match was better than the one at the Bernabeu.
"I have full confidence in the group. The team is smart, it works well daily and prepares for each match with a lot of intensity. In recent years, it has been more successful than a failure.
"Now, it hopes to be one of the best teams when May comes around," he concluded.
