Simeone: “We are at this important moment thanks to the people who compete and are waiting”

MADRID, 8 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Atlético de Madrid coach, Diego Pablo Simeone, has assured that if they are in the comfortable situation they are going through, it is thanks “to the people who compete waiting” on the bench, for whom he predicts a leading role in recent weeks, and He has acknowledged that he “only” thinks about Rayo Vallecano, which they face this Sunday, and not about the possibility of finishing the course in second position.

“The other day I told the footballers that the importance of this moment is thanks to the people who compete waiting, those who have fewer minutes, like Matt -Doherty- or Kondogbia; like Sergio -Reguilón-, who has not been playing; like Saúl, who enters a few minutes. They are the ones who end up giving the team total strength”, he declared at a press conference.

Thus, the Argentine coach, who confirmed that Sergio Reguilón is returning to a call-up, invited them to “continue competing.” “LaLiga is long. A game can be decisive and defining for a whole season and it can be their turn. They have to be prepared. When you come to the club, you don’t sign for the number of games, but because you belong to a group and are willing to do what let the coach decide”, he stressed.

On the other hand, he did not want to talk about the possibility of ending the season in second place in LaLiga Santander. “I think of Rayo Vallecano”, he highlighted, before talking about his fixed block in recent games. “The blocks and the societies are generated from the best individual state of each footballer. We try to bring together the people who best interpret the team game. From there, they must compete with the teammates who hope to improve as a team “, he pointed.

“You are continuous observers of what is evolving and involuting. Each team has a thought, each one looks for a way to play based on their footballers; the important thing is to identify with a game situation and transmit as coaches what we feel. In football makes it complex to attack, it is not easy to defend, and that is the most beautiful thing about this game, breaking the defensive part or creating offensively”, he continued.

On the other hand, the ‘Cholo’ analyzed the difference between arbitration in the Premier League and in LaLiga. “In England the referees have a much more dynamic way of refereeing, of allowing contacts, because the contacts will always exist in a contact game; in the Spanish LaLiga the game is slowed down more, a foul is whistled in the throw of a footballer that we all see that it is not a ‘foul’, the game is interrupted continuously, very fast yellow cards for very simple plays… That creates the difficulty that the second yellow card is at the gate, and you have to be careful. In Spain you have to live with that and in England they coexist with another form of interpreting the game”, manifested.

In another order of things, Simeone sent his love to the Argentine Ángel Correa after the death of his mother. “We are very respectful of Ángel’s family, we send infinite support to his family. Ángel is an important player for us and he is going through a moment that many of us have had to live through and that he will surely resolve in the best way with his family,” Indian.

Finally, he surrendered to the evolution of the winger Nahuel Molina. “We knew the importance and growth that Molina has for the future. At the beginning he could not handle his regularity and after the World Cup he began to have more regularity in his game. Physically he works very well, he allows us to have a lot of attack in that wing, lots of crosses and continuous danger. He’s a fantastic age, he turned 25 the other day, and hopefully Atlético can have a full-back in that place for a long time”, he concluded.
