On September 23rd, in the 6th round of La Liga, Atlético de Madrid drew 1-1 away with Rayo Vallecano. Despite not securing a win, Atlético’s head coach Diego Simeone remains optimistic, believing that his attacking players will eventually find their form.
Simeone commented on the match, “In the first half, although we were trailing, we had more scoring opportunities than our opponents, and the quality and intensity of our attacks were good. In the second half, we scored the equalizer but also missed some chances. Based on the overall performance, we should have won this game.”
Simeone stated that his team will give their all in every match, “We will approach each game with the same attitude, treating it as seriously as a final.”
Alvarez missed a one-on-one chance and hit the crossbar in this game, performing below expectations. However, Simeone is not worried about the lack of goals from the forwards: “Although the forwards didn’t score, I believe they will find their form eventually, and goals will come naturally. Alvarez worked hard on the left flank, Correa had a good performance, and Griezmann, who came on as a substitute in the second half, also put great pressure on the opposition.”
