MADRID, Jan. 18 (SportsFinding) –
The coach of Atlético de Madrid, Diego Pablo Simeone, lamented the defeat suffered against Eibar (2-0) and said they know where they are to remember that they can “lose and win against anyone”, in addition to explaining that the second part compensated the “bad first time”.
“It is obvious that we started badly. In the first half we did not play and did not do what we had to do. Then in the second we did play a good game with more participation in the rival field and more chances of danger,” Simeone said in his analysis. .
“The disconnection at the beginning? It can happen to us. We have been competing very well and LaLiga is different from the Spanish Super Cup that we have just played. If you enter the game badly, the opponents are prepared to overcome you,” said the Argentine coach.
“We can win and lose against anyone. We have not lost points that were planned,” added the 'Cholo', who declined to value the 1-0 play, reviewed by the VAR. “I did not see it from my position in the field. I will have to watch it on television. The VAR is part of the game and I hope it will always serve to add. We will have to accompany it.”
“Ipurua was always a difficult field. All the times we won here were results 0-1, 1-2 … very tight, and today it was a similar match. In the first half they took advantage of all our neglects and in the second we made the goal. I ask for peace of mind and you have to be patient to know where we are, “he replied.
Finally, asked if he is worried about the advantage that Real Madrid and FC Barcelona can take to lead the League, the mattress coach said “no.” “We don't care about others, nor do I care about those above, nor those below,” he said.
