MADRID, 6 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The coach of Atlético de Madrid, Diego Pablo Simeone, has assured that he has noticed “an improvement in the game” in the team in the Copa del Rey victory against Lugo (1-3), and has confessed that he likes that Javi Galán , who was the starter this Saturday, “have rebellion and always want to compete.”
“When I review the game, value more the individual work of each one. I congratulated Galán because he played a game with intensity, with impetus, with the desire to play. I like that Galán has rebellion; even if they make mistakes, I like footballers who want to compete always,” he said at a press conference.
Furthermore, he considers that in the match at Anxo Carro there was “an improvement in the game.” “I think Girona's second half was one of the best of the season; in this second half against Lugo there was an improvement in the game,” he said, before talking about the Galician team, which plays in Primera RFEF. “It didn't surprise me because we had already seen it. They went up a point in intensity in the first half and won the duels in that first half. They will do very well in the future,” he noted.
After going into the break 1-1, the Argentine coach pointed out that there was no need to raise his voice. “We talked about football, how we could find spaces with a team that won the duels and had a high intensity. The team entered very well and had a good second half, it was a fair winner,” he said.
Finally, he valued the double achieved by Memphis Depay. “The two goals are very important because he lives off the goal. We need him to be well and continue to improve with his work so that goal situations appear,” he concluded.
