Copa del Rey elimination: “When you lose against an inferior team it hurts but you have to think about the League and the Champions League. It is not easy to have the same concentration. You see how the field is, they looked like the stripes of American football … It is difficult to get motivation but it is not a excuse. Last year we were able to get ahead and we had many chances. On this occasion, Cornellá was better and we must congratulate them. “

Joao Felix: “Joao already has another status. I remember an interview with Cholo who said that it was necessary to discover how Joao could reach the end with gasoline. This year he is going better but perhaps it was better that he did not play yesterday. I have spoken many times with Joao I think this year he already understood the rules. He knows that when he loses, he is the culprit and that when he wins and plays very well, he is the protagonist. Joao has been the best of the best League in November. Joao is there but when he drops a A little bit, we have to criticize them. Last year he had bad faith reviews. This year, he has softer criticism. “

Simeone and her situation: “El Cholo has been very intelligent. After a defeat, he is criticized like any coach but nowadays, he is a legend and the legend is not touched. I already said that Cholo has to be the Ferguson of Atlético de Madrid. No We can forget how Atleti was when he arrived and how he is now. Atleti took a long time to be the great club that it was. Cholo will continue, without a doubt. “
