Simeone on the results of Atlético de Madrid: “The critics always have to be and they will be”

There’s no margin of error. Atlético de Madrid will face Cádiz for LaLiga Santander and Diego Simeone is clear that he must “Try to improve the team and have a positive momentum in the League.” The ‘rojiblancos’ coach made statements to the press and referred to the criticism that the team has been receiving for the negative results.

“I understand and perceive in training and games that the attitude to win and compete as it always is. Then there are the successes, the errors and the things that we have to correct inwardly as we did for ten years and we are not going to change now ”, the Argentine DT answered at the press conference.

Results that could be improved. Six victories in the last 16 official matches reflect the reality of the current Atlético, who need a victory in Porto if they want to continue in the Champions League. On the other hand, they are four points behind LaLiga’s lead, after drawing three of their last five games in that competition.

“Mainly, we are in a place where criticism always has to and will be. Beyond that, I am not exalted at an important team moment and nice words from the environment, or when there is a criticism of a situation. I am quite balanced in that thought and I try to go looking for what makes me feel identified with what I see ”, the Atlético coach pointed out.

Regarding the duel with Cádiz

“It is a complex team, that has a very hard way of working, that feels very identified with what they do and that is always dangerous, and that manages to stay focused throughout the game playing in a very strong defensive way. They have very fast players, especially with Lozano, up offensively and that will give them the chance to play as they feel more comfortable and as they felt identified all last season ”, analyzed the ‘Cholo’.
