A few days ago, Atletico captain Cork talked about his latest situation on the Spanish "Cadena Ser" program "El Larguero".

"I am more motivated now than ever. The situation is different now, and I am trusted by the coach. Last year I was injured in the most critical month. Now I feel good and very motivated. The club asks us to go further and I think I can do it. I know the impact I have on my teammates and the trust my coach has in me."

"I still have the passion to join Atletico Madrid on the first day, eager to improve and help my teammates. My agreement with the club is that as long as I can meet certain requirements, I will continue to play. If I can't achieve it, it's over. I will go all out until I can't contribute to the team anymore. By that day, I will be the first to say 'enough'."

Cork, 33, is a pure Atletico Madrid man with red and white blood flowing in his body. So far, Cork has played 684 times for Atletico Madrid, scoring 48 goals and contributing 119 assists.
