Diego Pablo Simeone took advantage of the press conference after the match against Rayo Vallecano to protest against the Copa del Rey schedules. Atlético have requested that the match against Athletic be moved to Thursday to have another rest day, and they hope the Federation will grant it. If Cholo ever leaves a press conference.
Cup schedules
“I played it, and I put myself in the position of a novice. They don’t respect the fan. The Federation already knows that we are playing against Real Madrid. To play such an important semifinal, the Federation decided that they have two more day, it seems unfair to me. What’s the difference between playing on Wednesday and Thursday, nothing. It’s disrespectful to the fans. If you have two more days, nothing will happen. It doesn’t mean we’ll win if we have one more day. It’s a matter of respect, because the fans come to the stadium to see the players well. I’m angry”.
Difficulty finding competitive teams
“We will think about the Real Madrid game, and then if we have to play in three days, we will try to bring the game where we cause damage to Athetic. They know me and they know that we will try to play the game with the best players. If they put us on Sunday, Wednesday, there will be no problem.”
Pablo Barrios Party
“Pablo is growing up. He is an important player for the club, for the quarry. We need it. It has been growing since Granada games from here. I hope I can maintain regularity. Now he was tired, but he made a great effort.
Lightning Strategy
“The game was difficult, like Real Sociedad struggled last week. He didn’t let a team that was performing well have many chances to score. We had spaces but we couldn’t take advantage of them. But it’s true that we didn’t have clear scoring opportunities to win the game. At the end we had a play between Griezmann and Memphis where nothing seemed to happen. It was a very important victory, because those who needed it had minutes and those who needed it has rested.”
The most important thing is success
“A tough, complicated victory. We need a win like that. Boys with less minutes have to participate. If we want to reach the end with options we need all the players. That’s why it’s so important.”
goal of Memphis
“Very happy for him, because he has been working with great enthusiasm, with great enthusiasm. Today he played 90 minutes, I’m happy that he finished well and scored, not to mention. Having 20, 30, 60 or 90 minutes is very important.”
Beautiful and Reinildo
“We tried to go out with three to try to support them. At times we did it well, sometimes it was difficult for us. Mario was more uncomfortable in the middle. Reinildo’s game was very good. He has a very good aggressiveness, it’s very intense. We recover, we develop and of course it will add to us. Of course they can play together.”
Vermeeren’s debut
“There are times when you have to invest minutes for footballers who will have an important future. You have to face this new reality. There is a lot of responsibility, a lot of pressure, He has a personality. 45 minutes is good to face the reality. Now , to manage our time with him in the best possible way.”
