On September 27, in the 7th round of La Liga, Atlético Madrid secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory away against Celta de Vigo. At the post-match press conference, Atlético coach Diego Simeone commented on the match, emphasizing the significance of this win for the team.
Simeone said about the victory: “All my players are outstanding, and we need time for Alvarez and Sorloth to build better chemistry with their teammates. Everyone in the team worked hard to secure the win, but there’s still room for improvement. We remained patient throughout the game and successfully ended our opponent’s unbeaten home record since February.”
Simeone on the importance of winning this match: “This win is crucial for us, considering our current position in the league standings. Barcelona has already amassed 21 points in the league, and I congratulate them for demonstrating a very high level of performance.”
Simeone on his tactical adjustments during the match: “The opponent’s solid defense limited our opportunities in the first half. However, in the second half, we brought on Alvarez, Correa, Riquelme, and De Paul, which injected vitality into the team. Ultimately, the connection between Griezmann and Alvarez helped us secure all three points.”
Simeone noted that Atlético needs to strengthen its attack: “We’ve finally returned to a clean sheet, but we need to perform better in attack.”
