When Simeone was asked about Ángel Correa in the press room, the coach was clear, he always is about ‘Angelito’. “He had the episode of the blow to the instep. From then on, Griezmann started to do well. Ángel, despite the pain in his foot and not being able to play, accompanied us on the bench and he had to infiltrate himself to be able to play” , confessed the Argentine. For Correa, because of his dedication, there are always hugs from the coach, literally, like he did a year ago at Villamarín, or metaphorically like yesterday. “Tomorrow he will play. He has a nice opportunity and he can do it as we are used to“, he added.
