Simeone analyzes the victory and the performance of his players
Atlético de Madrid keeps adding points, and Simeone analyzes the keys to the triumph. After the victory against Valladolid, Cholo highlighted the importance of the team’s reaction to adversity. The Argentine coach especially praised the form of Julián Alvarez, a player they wanted to incorporate into the team.
“He is having a great season. We went to look for that player, we need that player,” Simeone said, recognizing the offensive weight he has assumed in the team. Simeone also assessed Giuliano’s performance, acknowledging that his season has exceeded initial expectations.
“I didn’t expect him to have this performance, yes he could help us, that’s why I thought about having him as one more in the squad but he is having a very good, very strong season and hopefully he can sustain it,” he commented.
Cholo highlighted the importance of Koke in the team, highlighting his hierarchy and knowledge of the game. He also had words of praise for Lemar, valuing his vision of the game and the calm he brings to the team when he has the ball.
Regarding Griezmann, Simeone acknowledged that he is not at his best, but reaffirmed his confidence in the player. “He is not at his best, he has accustomed us to assists and goals and being decisive in all the years.
The coach keeps putting him in because he believes in him and I like how he plays,” he explained. With his sights set on the upcoming matches, Simeone is confident in recovering the best version of Griezmann and continuing to add important points.
