Atletico’s Aguero focused on sinking Fulham

(GSM) – Atletico Madrid is set for an exciting finish of the season with two Cup Finals ahead. Sergio Aguero insists the primary focus for his side is the Europa League final against Fulham in Hamburg on Wednesday.

A week after the Europa League final they will take on Sevilla in the Copa del Rey final at Camp Nou but the Argentinian insists there will be plenty of time to think about that game after the European game.

“Since January we made a huge sacrifice. Now we have two finals and hopefully both titles. I am anxious for the first one to arrive. It’s my debut in a final with a club,” Aguero said in an interview with El Pais.

“We must approach it as if it were the game of the century. We have to enjoy it and give it our all. If we win, it will give us a boost before the Copa final.

Aguero is wary of the threat Fulham possess and insists they must be fully focused if they are to win the first edition of the Europa League.

“They’ve knocked out several big teams. Juventus, Wolfsburg, Hamburg and in the group stages faced Roma. English football will guarantee strong players who are doing very well at the top. Their best weapon is the dead ball, just where we are weak. Almost all the goals that come this way and Bobby Zamora is not your typical big man. He knows how to move and open up spaces. We must be alert to their counterattack, which is also dangerous,” he noted.

“We will celebrate if there is something to celebrate for sure. There will be days to prepare the match against Sevilla but first we must think about the Europa League. If we win, we will obviously have to celebrate.”
