Atlético: Heading to the Cup with Victory in Sight
Cholo Simeone analyzed Atlético’s recent draw, describing it as a “flat” match where the score reflected the parity on the field. Despite this, the Colchoneros’ coach remains focused and optimistic about the future.
The coach highlighted the team’s control in the first half and the first fifteen minutes of the second, before a penalty changed the course of the match. Regarding the penalty action, Simeone was clear: “He grabs him by the shirt, a fair penalty and nothing to say”.
Despite this result, Cholo conveys calm and confidence in the squad, emphasizing the importance of overcoming difficult moments and continuing to compete until the end. Looking ahead to the next Cup match, Simeone anticipates a “very beautiful” match, in which he hopes the team will display all its energy and ability.
The coach downplays the drama of the team’s recent performances, pointing out that, beyond an adverse result against Barcelona, the team has competed well. Simeone recalled the controversial match in the Champions League, where despite winning the match, the final decision of UEFA left them out of the competition. With the Cup on the horizon, Atlético will seek to prove its worth and give its fans a reason to celebrate.
