Diego Pablo Simeone addresses the media after the loss to Palma de Mallorca. A stumble where the coach wanted to save the last minutes of the team where a draw was imminent.
World Cup break
“We will have a little more time to be able to work. After the World Cup, I hope they come with the intention to reverse the situation, which is obviously difficult”.
Lack of force at the top
“You can see it in the games. More than the goal situations, we keep making defensive mistakes that lead us to fall behind in the game in the first attack. It’s complicated. It loses clarity in the last meters. a team that had the desire to reverse this situation, which was not done. The entry of Reguilón is good for us. Reinildo has other qualities, he has just played all the games and is starting to go down”.
Griezmann
“We tried to plan a game of playing three from above with Griezmann floating to win the second ball, but after the goal the plan was not executed in the best way. We create situations when it is not easy to build against a team that defends well like Majorca”.
Five game winless streak
“To say that we lack strength is simple. We make defensive mistakes that cause us concern. In the first half we did not know how to solve a very simple play. They work well on the defensive side . Then in the second half the changes gave a new energy , more dynamic, more true crosses. Above all the crosses to Griezmann, the return of Reguilón that can give us important things. But it is not enough and says to we have to work hard for what’s to come. The team At no time did he give himself up. I’ve never seen a team give up and that’s what gives me strength.”
Break plans
“What is my concern. Try to finish the Cup well, work hard and well with those who stay and wait for the World Cup with the greatest enthusiasm and responsibility”.
Aim at the beginning
“Unfortunately, we found ourselves with a goal that distracted us. These are situations that can be solved in the best way. The team likes, they don’t give up on the game and give us the strength to believe that things will change situation”.
Replacing Nahuel
“The Molina thing has a yellow card and very fast people. I understood that he had a lot of games, we lost 1-0 and with Correa later and more options. I’m busy looking for solutions.”
