Llorente: Great players have left Atletico, but others have come with the same ambition LaLiga Regretted mistake against Real Madrid

New Atletico Madrid signing Marcos Llorente has claimed that despite the departure of several important players, the newcomers have what it takes to lead the team's project.

Despite that, the former Real Madrid midfielder didn't want to divulge Atletico's targets for the upcoming season, emphasising Diego Simeone's game-by-game mentality.

"Great players have left, but other, very good players, have arrived with the same enthusiasm and ambition," Llorente said.

"[Our target is to] compete in every game, give the maximum, go game-by-game and see what happens."

Llorente also discussed Atletico's 7-3 victory against his former club and recognised his mistake during the match that led to a red card.

"We are happy [with the win], as Madrid are a great club," Llorente added.

"I think we have to be aware that it isn't a LaLiga or a Champions League game but it's a pre-season one.

"I'm at Atletico, which is where I want to be I am very happy for the team and my teammates. Now we are going for more.

"[My mistake] has been forgotten, as you have to turn the page.

"These are mistakes that can happen and you have to think about the next game."
