Oblake: I am full of expectations for the Club World Cup, this is an opportunity for Atletico Madrid to compete for the championship

According to the Marca report, Oblak, who is preparing for the Club World Cup with Atletico Madrid in the United States, was interviewed and talked about his expectations for the Club World Cup.

Regarding the significance of participating in the Club World Cup to Atletico Madrid, this is very important. To be honest, I am full of expectations for the Club World Cup. This is an opportunity for Atletico Madrid to compete for the championship, and we will do everything possible to win it.

Are you proud of Atletico Madrid participating in this Club World Cup?

I think this reflects the qualities of our club, our team and all our staff. We entered an event that is not easy to participate in. Not all teams can participate in the Club World Cup, not because they don't want it, but because their results in the past four years have not met expectations. Therefore, it is indeed worthy of our pride to be able to participate in the Club World Cup. At the same time, we also shoulder the responsibility of doing things well and striving to win. We are not just participating in the competition, but trying to win the championship. This is the mentality of our team. Although Atletico Madrid has unfortunately not won any championship this season, we have a chance here and we will do our best to achieve the goal of (winning the championship).

About Atletico Madrid's current mentality

Our mentality has not changed, even during the team's trough, the elimination of the Champions League has hurt us, and since then, we have problems in the league and the Copa del Rey has been eliminated, but now we have time to prepare for the Club World Cup. Although some people play with the national team, the team is ready for the game, and I am sure we will do our best. The Club World Cup is a cup match with shorter match intervals, and we need to show our best form.

About Atletico Madrid's importance of striving for a good start in the Club World Cup, it is always important to win, especially against strong teams, but in the end, this is just one of three games in the group stage, and we will definitely go all out to win, but tomorrow's game will not decide to advance or eliminate. The game needs to be played one game at a time. It is good to start with three points, but no matter what the result is, we must maintain the confidence to continue moving forward.

About Paris Saint-Germain, who is now a European champion, is the same team as Paris now. They brought in some new players in January, but they have always had a strong lineup. When we played against Paris in the Champions League, we clearly felt that they were a strong team. I was sure they would qualify and compete all the way to the end because they had an excellent lineup, excellent coaches and a very good offensive tactic system.

It is very difficult to play against a team like Paris. They are not lucky at the beginning of the season but eventually achieve all their goals. Now they also want to win the Club World Cup, so what awaits us tomorrow will be a game that requires all our might to win.
