Flores: I know I must lift confidence of Atletico Madrid players
Quique Flores admits he must find a way of improving the confidence of Atletico Madrid's players after a dismal start to the season.
Flores has arrived to replace Abel Resino as coach following his dismissal last week.
The former Benfica and Valencia boss said: "I am honored to be part of a club as historic as Atletico Madrid. We have the tools necessary to revitalize the team.
"My first objective is to recover the quality of these players because I believe strongly in them, but to go forward in the best way must be down to the individual.
"I've seen, in recent appearances, players unrecognizable as victims of a situation that has become rather difficult.
"The market? I do not think we will active.
"Forlan and Aguero? They're not playing as everyone would like, but they too will recover."
