Simeone: “This draw was not the same as many last year”

Atlético coach Diego Pablo Simeone spoke to the media at the press conference after the match against Huesca played at El Alcoraz.

Is this a puncture?

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 materialize the chances.

Do you think the euphoria has hurt them?

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.

Was it a problem of lack of ambition?

There were times between minute 15 and 45 in which we did not go for the game with the same intention as at the beginning or in the second half. In that space we lost our way. The second half I liked, we looked for all the ways to get to the goal, but they locked in very well and their goalkeeper was very good.

Were the rotations due to concerns about the physique of your players?

No, I am concerned that everyone is involved. You have to give footballers the opportunity to play, they are all important and then we have to be the one to decide who has to have more or less minutes. “

Was it a draw like last year?

You saw it, it wasn't the same as a lot of last year's draws. It was tied because we could not find the goal to unbalance the game but the search for the goal and to generate overflow was. It was different from draws on other occasions. “

What will happen to Diego Costa?

I've already spoken it a thousand times. Until the market closes everything is open. I have already spoken many times about how I feel and how important I consider it to 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 4 I tell you what I think.
