Diego Simeon went through the press room of the Metropolitan after Atlético de Madrid’s defeat against Villarreal.
What is the team missing?
“The characteristics of the match were seen for what they were. Very tactical, strategic, they sought to take us out of our position so that our anxiety would take us out of place, the goal kicks so that the rival acted anxiously and beyond it seemed like that. they were driving. There were no dangerous situations in the game until Correa’s chance on Cunha and then Molina’s bad clearance that ended in a goal. very close. Whoever makes a mistake can lose and they took advantage of it well, congratulate them and think about the next game.”
Did Villarreal play their way?
“I shared it until we got the ball. When we got it, we didn’t have it, but when they had the ball we left the area and left spaces. We couldn’t take advantage of our moments with the ball and with the crosses that we could have hurt Morata in some of the first half, but I think the match was a bit boring, a bit tactical and there was a clear situation that it seemed whoever made the mistake lost”.
Carrasco’s ghost goal
“We trust the technology that the league has. It was tied at one, I thought Yannick wanted to secure the goal, his goalkeeper’s reaction was very good and the line understood that he hadn’t completely entered yet. We were tied and then it. is either our goal or their goal, as unfortunately happened”.
What is the difference between the way out in the two parts?
“I think we managed better his goal exit and the anxiety. Playing at home, with your people, it’s like you have an obligation to go out no matter what happens. In the second half we ordered better if we could generate greater difficulty in this Situation. The The changes went well, Cunha and Correa gave more dynamism, De Paul more play… but their goal came soon and the chances to equalize and then their second”.
the end of the market
“I am one to work and not to ask. We have a very complete squad. I hope we can continue what we are and if one comes out, another one will come accordingly. That the team is not hurt, because we have a good. squad. We are fine, they come in a good line, in the Champions League it responds very well, in the League it is more expensive but we expect it to compete better “.
The psychological game was won by Villarreal
“They beat us in that space, because we couldn’t press, it took us a while to understand it and they took advantage of that uncertainty that seemed to pass the game without anything happening. They were eleven, because they were playing with the goalkeeper and we ten and it’s a game that they It has led us to win. It also happened to us with Real Sociedad, to generate vertigo and play whatever they want”.
