Diego Pablo Simeone, coach of Atlético de Madrid, went to a press conference to analyze the defeat against Barcelona. A match in which the colchoneros fought until the end to equalize with the goal scored by Dembélé in the first half.
match rating
“I’m leaving with a bad feeling that we lost three important points for our League. After those 25 minutes they didn’t hurt us either, but we lacked personality with our ball. I’ll take the 70 minutes of playing which was very good. Well done individual and collective work, we played a complete match. We will leave with what we were looking for, which were the three points”.
the first 25 minutes
“It’s always two teams. There’s one that comes in with more confidence, with more play, and because of having that positional game they defend. At first, Llorente lost it, Barrios lost it, Griezmann lost it… when they started not to lose, the opposing team started to retreat, and we started to play better. Too bad we didn’t put them in.”
Mindset of the players
“The solution is to continue working, to continue training. It is to approach these 70 minutes and then have more force. There is always time for one team and time for another. They have 20 minutes, we have 70 and they scored and we couldn’t”.
party strategy
“If they told me before the game that in the first 20 minutes I was in the low block, I couldn’t get out and then in the next 70 minutes we had chances. I can’t remember if it was six, seven or eight. We made times, we’ve played on a rival field. In this good football. Then the third man, the fourth man, all that’s great, but if you don’t put it…”
Pablo Barrios
“It’s growing, we know that now it can have a different importance than other games. Because he listens, because he wants, because he’s from the club. It’s a good investment.”
League Options
“It’s not an alarming situation, but it’s a situation we have to deal with.”
Strength is trained
“The strength is there. You’ve been watching football for a long time and you either have it or you don’t”
