“This break is good for all of us”
MADRID, 11 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The coach of Atlético de Madrid, Diego Pablo Simeone, recalled the delicate moment for the rojiblanco team, five games in a row without winning, so as not to be focused on “resolving” this Saturday’s Copa del Rey tie against SD Almazán and think before of time in the World Cup in Qatar.
“The Copa del Rey returns, the illusion of always beyond the fact that on some occasions we were not able to do it as we would have liked, but with enthusiasm and hoping to play a good game tomorrow to take some time off that will come in handy for all of us “, said the Argentine coach at a press conference.
The coach of Atlético was asked about the anger of those who will not go to the World Cup and the caution that those summoned in the cupbearer duel in Soria may have. “It’s difficult. It’s an emotional situation for each one. All the boys with the possibility of the World Cup knew the situation of being able to be in or out. Now, to continue fighting, fighting those who have not had the chance to be in the World Cup because life is like that,” he said.
“The feeling I have is that at the moment we are in, the need we have to do well is understood, to play a good game and not think about other things than solving tomorrow’s game. Starting tomorrow night They will have time to focus on the World Cup,” he added.
On the other hand, the ‘Cholo’ was asked about Joao Félix, as usual, and a possible transfer of the Portuguese to the French PSG. “Joao Félix is ??one of the footballers who has scored the most goals out of the forwards we have, beyond the fact that he has scored three. He has the goal and hopefully he can continue to be with us, that he can perform at the level he has shown us and that keep generating, we need it,” he said.
In addition, Simeone confessed that the break for the World Cup, after this weekend, will be “good for everyone”. “Looking at the table, you can see that we are all very close. Those at the bottom, those in between and the two teams that fight a little higher. We are all living with a new situation. Between the 26 from Real and 16 there is not so much of points and there are many teams. It speaks for itself that this break is good for us, I think for all of us”, he concluded.
