Diego Pablo Simeone is very satisfied with the 2023 made by Atlético de Madrid. In fact, the coach spoke about his team’s numbers this year, and left a challenge for next year.
Importance of success
“First, for the win itself, we came from five games with a lot of effort, we had to win three, draw one and lose one. This time, we were more responsive to playing with ten than a few days ago. We are coming off a year where we played 50 games and lost only eight. We had a great year from December to December.”
Table situation
“We have only one way, which is game by game. We have to continue working in the best way and improve. Aim to be the opponent of the game. Against Sevilla we had good chances with Morata, with Lino…. But we have to defend better, this is the step ahead of us. We will work on it.”
Llorente’s effort
“We have many footballers like Marcos, so our team is good and we have a good match. Footballers who have effort as their raw material have to play. We are very happy that Reinildo entered, he has wanted to enter for a long time and he deserves it. The songs his teammates dedicated to him in the locker room, and the ones he received from the stands, were beautiful.”
Expulsion of Soyuncu
“I feel responsible for what happened to Çaglar. He is a tall player, with an important physique, but we didn’t give him the minutes he needed to have the right physique. Part of the blame for the dismissal of Soyuncu is our fault.”
