MADRID, 29 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The coach of Atlético de Madrid, Diego Pablo Simeone, asked this Saturday for “tranquility” after the defeat (3-2) against Cádiz at the Nuevo Mirandilla, at the same time that he recognized the need to improve in the “mental facet” and ” in the anxiety” of his players.
“Everything is learning, you always keep learning and there is no time not to learn. We need to improve mentally, in temper and in anxiety, because otherwise it would seem that everything is going to end tomorrow and there is a lot of League left, the Cup is missing and the opportunity to be in the Europa League. So calm down. It’s clear that this share of fortune that has to be in the game is not favoring us,” said the coach at a press conference after the game.
The ‘Cholo’ also showed his concern for the situation his team is experiencing today and lamented the two consecutive defeats. “It’s starting to be irregular because being out of the Champions League for losing a game the way we did doesn’t leave you feeling good. You have to be strong and understand what the team needs,” he said.
Finally, the Argentine valued his team’s play, insisting on the need to be “stronger” and have “more nerve” when it comes to understanding matches. “In the few that they have had, they have converted us. You are losing 2-0, you draw and there is one or two minutes left and that is when the games calm down, they are read and you see how far you can take risks so that the game does not go away. They are things to learn and to improve”, signalled.
“They attacked many times, but the reality is that we concede three goals and when that happens, for a team that works that facet quite well, it makes us see where we were wrong and where we have to improve,” he concluded.
