The Argentinian coach assures Atlético is strong despite the setback from the fall in the Champions League group stage and is already focusing on the “important” game in Cádiz next Saturday
“Disappointment for not reaching one of the goals of the season as they were at least the eighth champion. But this continues and now we have an important league game to continue the dynamism of Sevilla. The draw against Leverkusen doesn’t make me change my mind. The team is okay. You have to be strong, calm and work,” said Cholo Simeone on Friday, with his mind on Cádiz.
Regarding the decision to take penalties, the Argentine coach made it clear that “the execution of a penalty is more emotional than technical. I don’t have much more to say. Hopefully we can score a goal when he plays.” Asked about Rodrigo de Paul’s entry and performance, Cholo said that “he is an important player, especially when he plays like he did yesterday. That’s the footballer we were looking for at the time.”
“Nothing to say about private life. I handle things internally. Continue to work. We have a group of five very good attacking players and all five have the opportunity to contribute,” said the mattress coach about the images of Joao Félix after the elimination in the group stage.
Regarding the mood after the European setback, Simeone made it clear that “no one playing for Atlético de Madrid can afford to lower their arms. There are always low moments in a season. I will train and work as I always do, and I will look for the best for Atlético de Madrid.”
Finally, questioned about the possible changes in the team going forward due to the lack of revenue in European competition, Cholo left a clear headline: “No one is essential here. In 2014, many players like Godín or Gabi left and the team reinvented itself.
