Simeone summed it all up in one word: “Happiness”

Diego Simeoncoach of Atletico Madridsummed up with one word his state at the end of the match at Old Trafford, in which the rojiblanco team made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League after defeating Manchester United.

The victory

“Happiness. A lot of people working to make things go well. A lot of people to get out of that irregular streak. We have been a competitive team, not being ashamed to play retracted, knowing what to do when coming out. The goal appeared outside of game for little that made us think that we could hurt the rival. The goal appeared, which gave us the advantage and in the second half there was a brilliant team effort, one of the best this season, which leaves me satisfied”.

Griezmann’s game

“Everyone. There isn’t one who hasn’t worked the game well. On the wings they caused us to be lower and lower and that’s why we changed to 4-5-1. A great game from Lodi, with a Herrera who when he generates play allows us to getting the ball out, a brilliant defense and Oblak, who once again gave us peace of mind in the aerial game”.

Lodi

“He has a great shot with a brown ball. He’s eager. He had to wait, he had to see Reinido’s arrival, but Carrasco’s sanction came. It’s football. When you work, there’s always an option.”

This Atlético is another

“We come from a season of having been champions. It cost us this year with the irregularity we’ve had, but after the game in Osasuna the team showed a different spirit”.

Dream of the Champions?

“Today we are concerned about the Rayo game. Giving the president this victory in his 1,000 official games.”
