MADRID, 9 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Coach of Atlético de Madrid, Diego Pablo Simeone, has assured that the team did not know how to “defend well” in the “final minutes” of the LaLiga Ea Sports match against Getafe (2-1) and that it lacked “play better”, in addition to ensuring that Ángel Correa’s action could be “being an expulsion or not”, affirming that he gives “he throws himself very well.”
“It was not a good game to see, each one, in its own way, sought what he needed to direct his game. We did not play a good game regarding the game that the game needed, and still we arrived with options in that middle forty penalty that appeared and that gave us the possibility of putting ourselves in advantage. We put ourselves in advantage and the expulsion of Angel appeared,” he said at a press conference.
In this sense, he analyzed the red view of the Argentine striker. “It can be expulsion, it may not, as the situation wants in Djené, that is thrown very well; the referee decides to expel Correa. From there, they were superior, they found both goals, very similar,” he said. “We love Angel a lot and will not change an expulsion all the love we have for him,” he added.
However, he did not want to question the arbitration of Cuadra Fernández. “When the game ends, it ended. We cannot think about what the referee did or did not do, we have to play better,” he said.
In addition, he said they must “accept a deserved defeat.” “We could not solve with the 1-0 the game we had in favor. We must accept it and start thinking about what is coming,” he said. “We could not defend those final minutes well, we could not solve that frontal game that the opponent proposed. The rival did it with courage, integrity, enthusiasm and enthusiasm and deserved it,” he continued.
He also indicated that “even the goal” played “also bad.” “We couldn’t make the game we wanted to do,” he said. “In those 10-12 final minutes, they were brave, they were committed, they had efficiency in that frontal game and deserved to win in those final 15 minutes,” he said.
“After losing, nobody is happy, but not because we play with Madrid the Champions and next Sunday with Barcelona. The players are not well because we did not play a good game. We must try to be strong, together, with the illusion of improving from the game. From improving from the game we can imagine other things,” he concluded.
