Simeone: “This game either depresses you or it rebels you”

How do you explain the defeat?

Sometimes it is difficult to find solutions for things that recur. We are responsible for what happens, it is time to look at the good things we do and immediately correct what we are not doing well. In two shots on goal they made us two goals and that is happening.

Again they conceded from a set piece.

I demand and would demand more concentration. At the start of the game and in the second half we did well, we put ourselves ahead, which was very difficult, and again we couldn’t control the end of the game. There are two scenarios, one you rebel and the other you get depressed, because of the footballers I have, I imagine there will be rebellion.

How do you get out of the pothole?

First you have to win. It is always healthy and generates many positive things. Continue working. We came from a beautiful week of work, it is a shame, because they had done well in training and it is a result that hurts us, but it is reality. And from this reality we must try to take advantage of next Tuesday.

There are many defensive mistakes.

Hopefully we can fix it. We have been trying to find solutions and they appear at times. On every occasion of danger the rival ends up hurting us and it is football. And here the important thing is to win and the team has not done it.

What do they say in the locker room?

This game either depresses you or rebels you and I trust the squad we have and us as a coaching staff. Obviously re-route the paths we know.

Cunha started and scored.

There are many footballers in the offensive phase. He is doing well, working well, getting involved in what the team needs and finding the goal. Hopefully he can continue in this line and help us like all colleagues, being all together to address this situation.

What happened?

We missed a game that had cost us to get ahead on the scoreboard. The rival insisted, he sought in his own way to find himself again, the goal came from a stopped ball and, in our neglect, the second came …

Are you worried about the set piece?

Yeah right. We care, occupy us and we work on it. Hopefully we will find better results.

Why is it so difficult for Atleti?

It is difficult to explain. There are moments when things flow and others that are more sandy… We are going through one of these moments, but I absolutely trust the squad. It is a difficult moment, but the best thing is to have games like the ones we have to reverse the situation

Did Savic’s injury affect you?

It is very important for the team. Hopefully it is as little as possible.

Has the Porto game been confused?

No I dont think so. Some situations could not be controlled. Two shots, two goals.

How will it affect Tuesday?

These blows generate rebellion and we hope to find it on Tuesday.
