Torres: "We must do more; matches are being lost to situations we can fix"

Atlético Madrileño have now gone seven matches without a win, with Torres frustrated that late defensive errors are costing them points rather than opponent superiority.

Atlético Madrileño extended their winless run to seven matches after conceding a 96th-minute equaliser to Alcorcón. Marc Domènech had put the reserve side ahead early in the second half from a corner, but a defensive lapse in the final moments allowed Javi Lancho to snatch a point.

Manager Fernando Torres expressed frustration that his team are losing matches through their own mistakes rather than being outplayed. "It's difficult to accept another draw in the last minute, in the last play, by a situation we should solve much earlier," he said. Torres highlighted that Zaragoza, Jaén and Alcorcón have all left with positive results from similar late lapses, suggesting a pattern of poor game management.

Despite acknowledging the squad is new with players needing time to gel, Torres called for greater intensity and focus. He believes the team has shown identity and quality but must eliminate the defensive lapses that are preventing victories. "We need to be together and keep believing in what we do," he concluded.
