Defeat in the Canary Islands: Cholo Analyzes the Match
After the defeat against Las Palmas, Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Simeone appeared before the media to analyze the match. He acknowledged that the team failed to display their best game, especially in the second half.
“If we had any chance of winning the League, it was by making perfect numbers. Today we didn’t,” lamented the coach, aware of the difficulty now represented by the fight for the title. Simeone highlighted a “quite correct” first half, where the team generated chances, although without the fortune to materialize them.
However, the second half did not meet expectations, and the opponent’s goal reflected the lack of ideas and fluidity in the game. Despite the adverse result, Cholo defended the attitude of his players, pointing out that the problem lay in the lack of associative play.
“I was not bothered by the attitude, we played badly,” he stated. Looking to the future, Simeone reaffirmed his commitment to the project and the club’s philosophy. “It’s been 14 years at the club, we’re going to take care of and die for what we’ve built,” he assured.
The goal, according to the coach, is to continue working and looking for players who adapt to the team’s demands. While acknowledging the lack of defensive solidity in recent games, he expressed confidence in reversing the situation and recovering the strength that has always characterized Atlético.
The changes introduced during the match did not achieve the desired impact, and the team could not find the expected reaction. Despite the emotional blow, Cholo remains focused on the rest of the season, with the same enthusiasm and dedication as always.
