Simeone and the red to Felipe: “When you are anxious, certain situations overcome you”

Diego Pablo Simeon has passed through the microphones of Movistar LaLiga after achieving victory with the Atletico Madrid before him Getafe by 4-3.

heart attack again. “It is difficult to explain a match that had so many mini-matches. If we look at how many times they shot at goal and they are very few. We were losing 2-3 at the break with hardly any shots and after leading 2-0 and with a penalty. adversity, the missed penalty, from 2-0 to 2-3 and then the draw came. After Felipe’s fair expulsion that caused us to go to a game that compromised us a lot due to the need to win and the difficulties. And the heart of the boys responded in an extraordinary way. They all entered with a passion that we needed and then you can lose, but we all gave and we leave very happy”.

Philip’s Red. “I talked about it with the line judge, when you are anxious certain situations overcome you. When he left the site it was impossible to stop him, he is very big and he arrived late for the action. The people who watched the game left happy with the result and because The team gave it their all.”

errors behind. “The first goal is a good move from her and Reinildo almost arrived. Then the penalties are a corner and a center that were for nothing. If you tell me a move that stops Oblak, there is none except for that final shot that goes away It was just a little. We already paid for everything we had last year by winning the League (laughs).”

stand support. “I will love the people of Atlético forever. Come as it goes and finish how my stage at Atlético ends. I am lucky to have a group that continues to transmit passion, we come from being champions, we encounter adversity and it is being difficult. Last year We were fighting to be champion and now for those positions that allow us to enter the Champions League”.

Next, the Atlético coach appeared before the media

How would you explain the madness that was experienced in the stadium?

It would be necessary to break down three or four games into one. We played 25 very good minutes, taking advantage of the forwards to generate crosses and vertigo in the final part of the field. We got 2-0, the 2- appears, in one of the few shots on goal, two penalties appear that are not influential in a game…. Suddenly you find yourself going from 2-0 to being 2-3 at home. We found the 3-3, the unexpected came, a play with anxiety, the nervousness that the team represented in Felipe appears. Anyone could be Felipe. The end of the play did not have a good destiny, the expulsion came, all black, one less, 3-3, thirty minutes to play, the changes came in handy. João Félix gave him freshness up front, putting Llorente up front gave us the feeling of finding Llorente and De Paul went to have the ball a little more. We defended well, there were no shots against and the goal appeared that gives us hope and has our heads up because the boys are giving everything. Football is back and forth and it seems that we are paying for what last season made us champions. We are already paying far more than we deserve.

The team won again in the final moments, with one less…

This getting up and falling down, falling down and getting up again is ours. The team does not want to continue in the race. Last year for being champion and now for entering the Champions League. We need to enter the Champions League. We need the fans, the leaders and the coaching staff.

Is it the biggest challenge since you arrived?

Of the three goals there were two penalties… One was almost outside the area. Alba’s goal the other day nailed her in the corner. There are things that move in football and we are paying for these situations. Turning a 2-3 into a 4-3 with one less is not for everyone. And the boys did.

Are you being very demanding with the issue of penalties?

They are not influential in that they are a goal action. In these two plays there was no scoring situation. The hardest shot we received was the last one that went past the post.

Correa was decisive once again…

Angel gives you life. He is all heart and we need him. How many? How much does the team need? He generates good things. We feel identified with a player of this type. It will be the year that he has scored the most goals and that generates growth in a player like Correa that has cost him everything. No one has given him anything.
