Diego Simeonecoach of Atlético de Madridspoke to the media after his team’s victory against Valencia in Cívitas Metropolitano.
Gallagher
“A hard-working player, with quality, with good arrivals, recovers balls, never stops giving everything in every situation of the game, sometimes doing better and other times not. He has arrived with enthusiasm, we need the type of footballer in the middle of the court because it improves us.
Four games without conceding
“I watch a lot of football, almost every match. You see that except for City or Barcelona, bring together quality people who are each in their own way looking for what’s best for them based on the players they have.”
Julian Alvarez
“The way his teammates and the people in the stadium celebrated him speaks for itself about the importance of the goal. We all need him to score a goal so that he can be more calm. Hope I am the first of many.”
“I’m not interested in Julián, I’m not a striker but he lives from the goal, from the enthusiasm of developing these situations. He appeared at an unexpected moment, at the end, in a play that was fading. He was where he should be was there, he did it and we hope he grows”.
The fight
“In the first half we knew how to solve, above all, the possibility of a counterattack by the four in front. We controlled the game with patience, calmness, talent through passages, mastering the game. The goal situation. The game-breaking play emerged and in the second half we went from more to less, accommodating ourselves to what the game demanded.”
The one you like the most
“All the people who come in from the bench respond very well and that gives us the opportunity to compete. This is the biggest force we can have. We get the players who are waiting as they showed in Bilbao. Now, against in Girona. .. We work as a result of being a team”.
Julián, Griezmann and Sorloth will not play together. Does Antoine count as spinning?
“At Espanyol, Antoine didn’t play, he came in the second half. We already experienced the situation of Griezmann resting.”
Understand some criticism of De Paul, more is demanded of him than others
“I see it very well, that’s why I put it from the beginning. You have to demand from a world champion, it’s normal.”
