Diego Pablo Simeonetrainer Atlético Madridwalked through the Movistar microphones after his team’s victory over Granada, achieved thanks to the only goal of Alvaro Morata in a fight that worked hard and fought until the last minute.
Match analysis: “It was difficult for us to win on the road. It was especially difficult for us at the end and we weren’t able to finish the second half well before they started attacking. The win we needed, we hope to continue to improve.” “
Changes from Lino and De Paul gave freshness: “Yes. We had to look for situations like that, they couldn’t happen in the first half. In the second half we tried to change to see if something would appear. Saul entered the second half well, Lino on the left, De Paul and Griezmann on the right. .. 35 very good minutes, it’s a shame not to score the second goal, which allows us to go calmly and does not allow the opponent to press the way he pressed.”
The blank slate returns: “We needed to maintain a draw again. It costs us dearly. Today, the team is dedicated to working on defense and winning duels, and continues to improve in small details. We won an important match.”
Can Correa stay?: “Yesterday I talked for a long time with Angel. I love him very much as a person, as a football player, we already know all the good things that he always gave to our team. Let it be the best for him. I Always say the same thing: people who gave us a heart like Angel, no matter what happens, we will accompany him.”
Hands of the end: “The score is 0:1 in the Granada area, Saul’s goal is final… Many difficult games. I have always believed and hope to believe that VAR is important because it helps. There are times when it doesn’t happen, But it helps. Let’s hope that the judges will get this help because there is a lot of pressure on them and it is not that easy.
Lots of noise from VAR: “Too much, it’s not easy. We all make mistakes, things happen very quickly, but we have the tools to improve it. I hope that those who need it, those who work in this area, will receive help.” “
Lots of departures and signings: “I don’t think so. We have an idea. We already talked to Bertha and she told me that we talked on the bus. She’ll probably tell me something.”
