Simeone: “I'm not worried about not having solutions”

Atlético coach Diego Pablo Simeone has appeared telematically before the media after the match against Villlarreal at the Wanda Metropolitano (0-0).

What feelings does this tie leave you?

Bitterness because the attitude and the predisposition in the opposite field were. When we had to generate game to do damage, we could not have lucidity. We are left with the feeling of having made a game from the commitment and the very good attitude, but with little lucidity when the opposing team closes in.

Are you concerned that there were no solutions to overcome the opposing defense?

No, I think that the attitude and the predisposition to disturb were at all times. Perhaps a bad control or an inaccurate pass causes you not to be able to harm an opponent who when defending like Huesca and Villarreal is not easy. We will have to look for alternatives so that when these situations arise we can solve it. We will focus on other paths when the opponent closes in.

What was he looking for taking away Koke for Herrera?

I was looking for a little more clarity. Take out a fresher midfielder who would give us vertical passes that would generate damage in the midfield.

How can these marking problems be solved?

Today we were pressing for a long time in the opposite field, something that we did not do last year. We would go back and recover the ball far away, so we had difficulties to reach the goal. The pressure is different, more intense, we look for the rival to make mistakes. Another thing is when you have the ball and you have to be lucid to generate in the final meters.

What worries you most about the end of the market?

I'm busy and worried because things can always happen until the end and hopefully there are no surprises. That we finish the market with the expectation that we have and that we can return in the game against Celta with the squad with which we will shoot all year.

What are you looking for in Torreira?

They have not told me anything yet about having passed a medical examination, so I have nothing to say. Only the game and what has occupied me today.

How do you explain the difference between Granada and the last two games?

Sometimes it is difficult to explain this type of situation. With so much work and as much attitude as the team had in the 90 minutes, we could not generate situations. I have to stay with the good and the thing is that the team in general had an intention and an attitude that I like. The results in the last two games were not what we want. But I like the attitude because the team wants to be the protagonist. You have to be patient so that we can translate this into facts shortly.
