Koke shrugs off being barracked by Atletico Madrid fans

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke has shrugged off being barracked by home fans.

The whistles from a small section of the home fans at the Wanda Metropolitano when Koke was substituted during Tuesday's visit from Bayer Leverkusen is still a talking point in the red and white half of the capital.

The player himself said at an institutional event today that it's all water under the bridge as far as he is concerned: "I'm ok about it, I'm relaxed and I want to continue working hard. We are still only at the start, I'm feeling strong and I'm keen to help the team.

"I'll keep working like I've always done, as normal - you've got to keep going. I've had a lot of support from people and although there are some people who aren't happy about how I am playing, I have complete faith in myself, the club has faith in me, the coach believes in me too - as do alot of other people. I'll keep training and working like I have always done."
