Diego Simeone, coach of the Atlético de Madrid, appeared before the media after his team's draw against the Huesca (0-0) in El Alcoraz.
Analysis
“We are in the second day, we started well, then they positioned themselves better and we could no longer press as we were doing. In the second half we followed the line of the match against Granada, we had many chances, but they defended themselves very well and avoided our chances. His goalkeeper was very good. The second half is the way although we could not specify the chances ”.
Did the euphoria hurt?
“No, I saw the boys very well, wanting to play, we rotate so that everyone has the opportunity to show their game and be important. The changes went one step further and the team responded accordingly. But when you don't score, the game escapes you, the rival closed us well ”.
Did you lack ambition?
“There were passages between minute 15 and 45 in which we did not look for the game with the same intention as at the beginning or in the second half, in that space we lost step, I liked the second half, we looked for all the ways to reach the goal, they locked themselves well and their goalkeeper was very good ”.
Rotations, does the physique worry?
“No, I take care that everyone is involved, footballers must be given the opportunity to play, they are all important and then we have to be the ones who decide who should have more or less minutes.”
Another tie. Last year there were many
“You saw it, it was not the same as many of the draws last year. It was tied because we did not find the goal to unbalance the game but the search for the goal and to generate overflow was. It was different from the draws on other occasions ”.
Diego Costa
“I have already spoken it a thousand times, until the market closes everything is open, I have already spoken millions of times what I feel and how important I consider it for the team.”
Do you sign that the template stay as is?
“I don't sign anything because anything can happen until day 4 and in football you have to be open to any possibility that may happen. The 4th I tell them what I think ”.
