“Those who have a great lexicon are able to praise you with a scorn”

Diego Pablo Simeon did not miss the opportunity to leave a message at a press conference to Pep Guardiola. The technician of Atletico Madrid He left proud of his team’s work, although he left annoyed at having been eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Champions.

Elimination Assessment

“Fucked because we were left out. It doesn’t matter how I win. Victory is always celebrated because winning is the most important thing. It was a very difficult tie. It is a rival that averages two or three goals per game. In the first game we put up with him but we couldn’t have chances to score, in the second we managed to have more chances, but we lacked forcefulness to score”.

The critics

“I have priorities in my life like everyone else. The first is to win and the second is to be proud. We have extraordinary fans and responding to what the team gave them. But we couldn’t win. The second is to feel proud and I have no doubt that I am proud of the team that Atlético de Madrid has because it competes. We always compete, there will be times you don’t like it but we compete. Watch the game on television and you will see that there are players who go for it against players who are better, it is incredible. Despite everything, the most important thing is to win.”

Applause for the City bench

“In the end, when you talk too much, you end up undressing. Nowhere did I applaud the other bench, I applauded our audience. I think it was important to applaud something strong that was being noticed on the pitch”.

Has Guardiola disrespected you?

“No, I do not have to give an opinion and believe that one speaks badly or well. Many times those who have a great lexicon are able to praise you with a scorn. We are not so stupid even if we do not have so much lexicon”.

Brawl in the locker room tunnel

“I did not see it. I stayed applauding the people and when I went up the stairs there was no one”.

Victory of his football

“I don’t think of it that way, football has a lot of facets. There are you who are very capable and see everything very clinically. Football is highly opinionated. Playing against the best team in the world and realizing that we were able to compete very well. It doesn’t make me happy because the only thing that makes me happy is winning. But today my old man, Luis Aragonés, those who left in the pandemic have seen a team that competes very well.

The dark arts of Atlético

“Justice belongs to those who have to implement it. I think they could have reviewed Correa’s penalty. But they believed that it was not even to observe it.”

Advice to Real Madrid

“I give Real Madrid advice in the Champions League, it would be very disrespectful.”
