Diego Pablo Simeone appeared in the first press conference of the 2022-23 season. A conference where he reviewed both the opening day against Getafe in LaLiga and all the information on Atlético de Madrid that has emerged this summer.
Possible signings
“Daniel finished as the player who came and what he did, he did well and helped us. He is in very good shape. He sent us out for personal reasons. With his behavior since his arrival, I understand that what is happening to him is more important than the team. Let’s see if something comes or not. Until the market closes, we have to be calm about what’s going to happen.”
Center Witsel
“The field will mark it. I think he came with great enthusiasm, eager to give us what he had. So excited to play. we put him in that middle position. When we put him on that demarcation, he can also be a midfielder. Hopefully I can maintain it over time.”
Professor Ortega
“That will be announced at the right time. I will not occupy that place belonging to Professor Ortega to report.”
The World Cup in the middle of the campaign
“We will see a better World Cup, it seems to me. Because the footballers come in full. The World Cup is always at the end of the season after a year full of football. Now we will see a World Cup in a different situation. Nothing changes for us, because we live in every game. Tomorrow we have a match against Getafe, which is a complicated rival where we have to bring it to the place to be superior “
Cristiano Ronaldo
“Normally there is controversy about the matter. I understand that there are intentions for one to stand on one side or the other. This is part of where you have to work, all I think about is Getafe and the people here”.
preseason
“Last season it is true that we, like other teams, did not have an ideal preseason. This year we were able to spend 14 days together in Los Angeles de San Rafael, which was very good for us”.
Saul and Morata
“They have come in handy with a great predisposition for what the team needs. They are having an exciting preseason. Hopefully every minute they have to play they do it with the same enthusiasm as they do in training “.
penalties
“There is not much to talk about, it will always be someone’s criteria and we will have to solve what concerns us. The word criterion will always come up and each of us has a criterion. So there’s not much to talk about.”
The versatility
“The possibility of having footballers representing different positions helps us, we are covered more than having pure footballers. Witsel as a midfielder, as a defender, Carrasco on the left or right, Correa.. ., many footballers we have changed their positions in recent years. They allow us to have a richer template.
Is there a real option to sign Cristiano Ronaldo?
“Tomorrow we will play against Getafe and from then on we will start a league that will be very difficult. It will be a season that will find us new situations and the only thing that worries us is that.”
