Simeone speaks of Atlético ‘excitement’ while the La Liga race continues

The coach of Atlético Madrid Diego Simeone spoke against Real Valladolid in La Liga with the shape of certain players and the goals for the rest of the season before the game on Monday evening.

When Simeone was asked about the upcoming challenges, he was also tested to think about a full week to rest and train to prepare for the league game.

“It is a week that can be managed in different ways and depending on the moment,” he said. “It is not so easy to train every day. I personally like to play more often because it also means that the team is in more competitions. We better adapt to the requirements of the present and the rest of the season.”

“He is a person, and like everyone, he is better and not so good in some moments. He knows that he has to improve and we have talked about it several times. If someone gives a lot of good things, he is asked more.

Simeone on Conor Gallagher

“When we thought of him, we thought of a player with a lot of energy and intensity in his game, both offensive and defensive. He has very good skills as a ball that storm with balls. It is never easy for boys who come from England to adapt to the Spanish league, develop and have space for growth.

“In this and also the previous season we could not take advantage of the virtue of the strikers or the boys who have a good air game. This is on us as a coach because they do not give them any options, and the players for not solving it in the game.”
