After Atletico Madrid defeated Sevilla 3-0 at home, coach Simeone talked about several topics about the game.
How to evaluate the growth of Giuliano Simeone
"What is more important is his own feelings, because he is a growing player, he has a humble attitude and hopes to continue to improve. He must maintain this attitude in order to achieve The height of his own imagination."
"He knows that he has earned his place in the team and must continue to prove himself in training and games. He has a good relationship with his teammates, which is what I am most happy about as a father and a coach. He brought something different to us, but he still has a lot to improve."
On Matias Almeida's performance
"When we talked on TV before the game, that feeling doesn't need to be there every day. It was easy to understand when we met, we spent a lot of time together in the national team and I asked him to be my assistant coach because of his character, his determination and his clarity of ideas, which he said at the time he was not ready for. Now he is in Europe, in an important place like Sevilla, playing with the same style as when he was a player."
How to evaluate the growth of the team
"At the end of the first half, Sevilla played very tough and intense, but we just couldn't score the goal. It was frustrating for us, but we had to keep working. It was expected that they would gradually tire and we would gradually gain the upper hand. It was beneficial, allowing them to be more open, and our substitutions also gave us more space and offensive opportunities, and finally we achieved important results in the second half."
The start of the season was difficult, but now that the injured have returned, is there room for improvement?
"Obviously we need to continue to improve. We have to proceed from humility and belief, continue to work hard and never stop until the last moment."
Are you satisfied with the team's performance?
"I see that there are many capable players in the team. Young players, they deserve more playing time, but due to the current performance of the main players, we cannot give them too many opportunities. We need to find the right combination and there are still many games to play if we can maintain one. A united team, making everyone feel important no matter how much minutes they play, that's going to be really important."
Does that excite you
"I'm not looking too far ahead, I'm just looking at Ruggieri's performance, Hantzko's performance. I'm very satisfied with the performance as a central defender and the performance of Baena in the midfield. I will continue to work hard to bring out the best in each player because they are all very good."
Serlot showed different characteristics
"He is the best for us. He is an important player in that position. We need him. No matter it is 90 minutes, 60 minutes or 5 minutes, he can play a role whenever the team needs him because he has unique characteristics."
About this game
."We knew what kind of opponent we were going to face, and we discussed in the first half not to be frustrated. Although we had some good chances, the score was 0-0 and we felt overwhelmed by the opponent. The penalty kick made us realize that they might be getting tired and we had to do the opposite. Substitutions brought us energy and solved the difficulty." We want to make it clear from the beginning that there is no stipulation in the contract who must be the starter, they must help the team grow, because we as a whole have reached unexpected heights. "
"Since the game against Espanyol and the two subsequent draws, we have been looking for the best combination, because there were 8 new players this year and 7 last year. We are still looking for the right combination, regardless of face, just who can help the team. "
