Diego Pablo Simeone came on to assess the 3-0 victory over Valencia. A game that left the mattress coach very satisfied.
Assessment of the present moment
“I will not think about what I expected or what I did not expect. Things happen. The best thing we have done since they came back from the World Cup, the team regained the game, energy, ambition, way of playing. Before the World Cup , I told you the team went from a regular season to a bad one, and now we’re going from a regular season to a great one. When the group is good, the team is good. It’s no coincidence that the pitching got better of Lemar and Morata. Correa is doing well, Pablo is doing well, Witsel is doing well… we don’t give Kondogbia a chance because there is a lot of competition in the middle. When we choose, we choose what we consider the best for the team. We know we don’t count on him for some games and it’s a difficult situation. It is what it is, it’s at a very competitive club, but we need him to the group so that later the team can find what it sees.
team improvement
“The first half we had very good associative plays before the goal plays. some. We were down 1-0. Foul or no foul against Memphis would have led us to the goal, it prevented 1-1. Otherwise you can be demanding, you start having problems, that didn’t happen because in the second half the second and third goals came. We defend well which is very important for our game”.
Contribution from the bank
“We always tell the players that it’s not that disrespectful to take a few minutes off. Otherwise, disrespect is not giving yourself up to give it your all every time you have to step in. It happens from the group. To improve, to make the coach dizzy so he has more options to play”
If they started like this…
“I don’t stop to think about it. I think we have to play a good game. I hope we arrive in the best way. We are lucky because Koke will stay, Llorente will stay, Witsel will stay and that will allow us to work better”
Griezmann is the best player in LaLiga
“You can imagine that. Antoine is one of the best interpreters of the game. He is always looking for where to create more danger. You have to give him the freedom to show it on the field. Because you think about putting him somewhere or something else, and in the end the best thing is to give him freedom.
