"I want to play for Atletico for much longer"

Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth said he wants to stay with the Rojiblanco side ‘much, much’ longer, stressed that he has a "very good relationship" with coach Diego Simeone and stressed that "it's a pleasure" to play for his current team.

"I want to play for Atletico Madrid much, much (longer)," said the Norwegian striker during an interview with “Radio Marca” on Thursday. Sorloth has 17 goals in his first season at Atletico, of which he recalled that "the first few months of the season were difficult" because he was not scoring goals.

"But since October I played very well, often from the bench, but I've scored goals," he said.

"Now I'm in the eleven and I scored a goal the other day. I'm very happy. I live in Madrid, it's my favourite city, I'm very happy and it's a pleasure to play for Atletico Madrid," he said.
