Koke keeps on running Atletico Madrid Spanish midfielder covered the most ground in Tallinn and Valencia

Atletico Madrid's LaLiga Santander campaign didn't get off to the perfect start with a 1-1 draw with Valencia, yet that wasn't due to a lack of effort on the part of Koke with the Spanish midfielder continuing to run.

His performance in the UEFA Super Cup tie that went to extra time was phenomenal and selfless, he gave everything for the team physically and then did the same just days later at the Estadio Mestalla.

Adapting to the playing style instilled by Diego Simeone hasn't been easy for every player at Atletico Madrid, with certain individuals leaving after struggling to adapt.

Koke isn't one such individual, he's understood perfectly what the Argentine wants from his players and the academy graduate has represented the team perfectly.

Despite being an exceptional technician, Koke has sacrificed himself for the team by accepting a responsibility on the wing rather than in his natural role in central midfield.

Over the course of the match in Tallinn the Spanish international covered 16.1 kilometres with only Saul Niguez getting close to that number with 15.8 kilometres.

Throughout the match with Los Che he reproduced such a performance by clocking 12.3 kilometres of running.

Koke played in two positions across both matches with Rodri having been given the start centrally against Real Madrid, but still managed to produce a consistent level of effort and performance.
