Diego Pablo Simeone, coach of Atlético de Madrid, addressed the media after his team’s 3-1 victory over Real Madrid in the derby.
Alvaro Morata
“The fact is that today he played an extraordinary game beyond two goals. For their participation and participation in the game. We need this Morata. We know that he has the weapons to reach his numbers and overcome those I hope he can maintain this level for the Spanish national team and Atlético, he is a very important forward.
Keys to success
“We played very well. I interpreted it this way, in the first half we came in strong. We know we can do damage from the sides, and we try to find lateral centers like in the game of Lino and Saúl. The greatest thing today is the spirit. If that spirit rises from below and that spirit falls from above, we are a complex group. We have to play a good game, after the Valencia game I told them I’m not worried. We had a good game against Lazio. And now we play the game that fans need to see. At half-time, we discussed that if we come back like we did at 2-1, they are very dangerous. If we both played we would lose the game. We describe that the game is about attack. We distance the team. “We live in that place”
Koke’s return
“Koke is very important to us. The team needs his figure on the field. Axel is playing good games, but I thought Koke’s appearance could give positive things. I was on break so I decided to replace him. Axel then had a superb second half as both a midfielder and a center back. The entry of Memphis was very good, Correa also and Galán had a few minutes of rebellion where he played well. That’s what we’re looking for.”
Meeting rating
“It was a very good game. After 2-0 we came back too much. We let Madrid get the better of us, and that was very good for them. We started playing ball. The team is doing very well there. In search of association games, the team responded.”
Success in arbitration
“Nothing”
Defensive efficiency
“Obviously good teams manage to interpret defensive and offensive efficiency. In those actions of defensive effectiveness. We interpret very well. I don’t begin to interpret what others think. I interpret what I see. I interpret what is good for the team. “I am glad that tomorrow, Monday, the boys will wear the shirt of Atlético de Madrid.”
