Simeone: “I continue with the same enthusiasm and I trust the squad”

The game escaped them at the end.

It was a first half where neither of us managed to have scoring chances. In the second half the team started better, Sevilla looked for the backlash, we had one as soon as we started with Carrasco. I think the team did a lot of good things and others to improve. We had the feeling of being around the goal and we have to accept that their goal appears in an isolated play.

It is his first time with three defeats in a row in the League.

The reality is that it is a difficult time, where the results are not accompanying us. I continue with the same enthusiasm from the first day, I have the absolute peace of mind of trusting the squad, I know that you have to work, recover people and above all the confidence, which will return as soon as things get under way in the next matches. Peace of mind, look at where we can improve and absolutely trust the squad I have.

A set piece penalizes them.

They pushed hard. It is a brave team, with personality, tall people and we knew that we could suffer on the set ball. That goal appeared at a time when the game was not expecting it, but in the end the one who scores the most goals is the right winner. On our part, we assume responsibility for the moment, but have no doubts that we will continue working to get out of this moment.

How did you see João Félix?

He made a good second half and it is good for him and for the team.

How do you get out of this situation?

Insisting, not lowering his arms, he who does not feel the strength and energy to warn. I have been here for ten years, always when we started we used to finish 12 points behind the first, now we are in that situation unfortunately and what we have to look for is to find the confidence, security and forcefulness so that things go as they roll. It is a difficult time and the responsibility is obviously mine.
