Simeone: If I always think about the difference between the score and the opponent, I will forget the team itself

Hupu on August 30th, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone accepted an interview with the media. He looked back at the trough the team was experiencing, reiterating the need for calmness and patience to face the worst La Liga start since its coaching.

What the team lacks

"We lack the goal that can open the situation and let the team grow on the opportunities created. They defend well, and I think we have the capital to win, but in the end we can't do it. Now there are only two points. I believe the new players. We will continue to work hard, and we will start to get points by working."

The current situation

"The first thing is always the team, and the second is the points. It is difficult to win a bad game, sometimes it may happen, but it won't be the case. Today's game they have a penalty kick opportunity. We need more shots, more decisive... We have players who can do this. We need time and patience. "

The gap with opponents

" It's obvious that the most important thing is the difference from the top. But if I keep thinking about this, I forget the team. If I keep thinking about this, I forget to accumulate through work. Cumulative points. We have to improve on the defensive end, but what we need to improve more is the performance in the last third of the frontcourt... We have to create better opportunities for the forwards, just like the header opportunity of Sollot today. "

lead every game but can't win

" This is strange and the most difficult thing in La Liga... We have a chance to finish the game in every game. For Espanyol, against Elche... we will always experience such moments, and hope this will pass as soon as possible and change the situation from the game against Villarreal." The status of the team

"The children trained very well. We must continue to work the same way and wait for the players who are very important to us to return. They will eventually show everything they have. With confidence and security... And the sense of security is not bought, it comes from work. With confidence and security, the result will come."
