Atletico Madrid have won three of their last four league matches with the Colombian striker adding five goals to his name.
Before heading out to face Valencia, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 mentioned about Atletico Madrid’s change in fortunes this season. The Colombian striker was pleased with the way things turned out for his new team.
"The work we have been doing, the sacrifice, it is all paying off," Falcao told reporters. "The team is convinced of what it wants.
"We have improved, which has allowed us to turn our situation around.”
Atletico started the season in a dismal fashion and found themselves staggering under former coach, Gregorio Manzano. The capital club were 13th at the start of New Year but since the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Simeone, they have climbed
up to 7th place in La Liga points-table.
Los Rojiblancos have accumulated 29 points from their 20 league outings and are 2 points from the UEFA Champions League qualifying place.

When quizzed about the refereeing debacle surrounding La Liga, Falcao was less than impressed about questioning the integrity of match officials. He stated that referees are also humans and they can also make mistakes just like the players do on the
pitch.
"Referees are human beings and they make mistakes," Falcao said. "We must not pay attention to those details, all we have to do is play.
"This is a game and referees try to do their http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 as well as possible."
The 25-year-old has continued his prolific form in front of goal for the capital side since his move from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 where he scored 41 goals in 51 league matches. Falcao can boast about his 14 goals in 16 league matches this season.
