On August 29th, in the third round of La Liga, Atlético Madrid drew 0-0 at home against RCD Espanyol. Atlético coach Diego Simeone stated after the match that the team repeatedly squandered golden goal-scoring opportunities, and that such constant wastefulness makes it very difficult to win games.
Regarding this draw, Simeone appeared unsatisfied: “As always, the team’s ability to seize opportunities is a concern for me. We played a good game and created five golden goal-scoring opportunities, but we failed to capitalize on any of them. Although we didn’t score, creating so many scoring opportunities is not by chance. We should have won, but our opponents defended well, and we couldn’t take our chances. If we continue to waste scoring opportunities like this, it will be very difficult to win.”
Simeone summarized the team’s performance: “We started the first half very well, but then the team’s control dropped, so I made adjustments to the lineup during halftime. Although in the second half we did not create as many scoring opportunities, the team still performed well.”
