Diego Pablo Simeone appeared in a press conference satisfied with the image of the team, but logically annoyed with the result obtained against Real Madrid. A team he praised and dropped a ‘pullita’ because it reminded Atlético de Madrid that they were league champions in 2014.
match analysis
“The truth is that there is nothing to claim from the footballer more than the mistakes that are in the game. They have a very good direct game. They have an incredible transition from defense to attack. You can see why it is a team that plays very organized, it’s a team that then makes the most of its chances. It’s a great job by the master. Despite Madrid’s great game, we always try not to leave the game . In the second half, I think we improved the intensity of the match with the departure of Cunha, Morata, and Correa. They gave the team more intensity than against Real Madrid, it was important”.

“Now we understand that Antoine can start from scratch. He played a great game, he moved in many places. In the second half he turned left to play with two forwards. He has a great game like other guys. I was left with the reaction of the team not leaving the game. We played against a very strong team. The strength is amazing. It reminds me of the team I had at Costa and some criticized us. When there is force it is wonderful”.
The chin behind
“It is clear that Stefan and José are important players in the squad. Felipe played well, Axel sometimes handled the casualties well in a position that was not his. We hope we can count on Savic and Giménez soon season. The year we became champions we could count on them for most of the season”.
Lack of centrals
“We are competing every match as usual, trying to give our best in every match to try to get the best results. We only lost two home games against Villarreal and Real Madrid. And that is what weighs us down. Llorente played from the start on the wing because I thought he would cover Vinicius better. Due to the inability to rely on Savic and Giménez, we delay Axel. Don’t look beyond the game against Sevilla”.
Connection Joao Griezmann
“It’s true that we can’t connect as we would like.”
