Simeone: Self-Criticism After Defeat to Getafe
Diego Pablo Simeone, after the defeat against Getafe, made a self-critical analysis of the match. El Cholo acknowledged that the team did not play a good game, especially after taking the lead. Despite the initial goal, Atlético failed to maintain control and saw Getafe come back in the final minutes.
Simeone highlighted the opponent’s bravery and effectiveness in those decisive moments. The Colchoneros coach also referred to Ángel Correa’s expulsion, pointing out the possible subjectivity of the referee’s decision.
However, he emphasized that they should not look for excuses in the refereeing, but focus on improving their own game. “We have to improve, we can’t think about the referee in what he did or didn’t do, we have to play better,” he said.
Despite the defeat, Simeone conveyed a message of unity and optimism for the future, especially with the important commitments ahead. He acknowledged his affection for Ángel Correa and the importance of the player in the team.
He stressed the need to strengthen the collective game to face the upcoming challenges with enthusiasm and ambition. The Rojiblanco coach was convinced that, by improving the game, the team will be able to achieve its objectives.
