The coach of Atlético de Madrid, Diego Pablo Simeonehas assured that the team’s idea “has been clearly seen for twelve years” and that wearing the red and white shirt is “a great motivation”, so he does not doubt the commitment of his players. Likewise, he revealed that Marcos Llorente will not be available for this Sunday’s match against Mallorca because “the doctors have decided that he should not travel as a precaution.”
«The idea has been clearly seen for twelve years. It is clear that we cannot always perform at the highest level. We always hope to be able to perform at the highest level, but it is true that there are times when we cannot respond to what we have demanded of ourselves. There is a global idea of a team that works as a block, and it does not matter if the block is high or low; with Las Palmas it was higher, with the PSG was lower, the important thing is that people feel identified with what we do,” he declared at a press conference.
In this sense, he stated that all the matches are motivating for the red and white players. «Representing Atlético de Madrid and wearing the shirt every game is a great motivation, no matter who you play against, and that is what we always wanted to convey since we arrived at the club. “I don’t move from that line, I think that’s the line that has always represented us,” he indicated, before talking about the desired regularity. “It is the most difficult thing in football, maintaining consistency, maintaining that intention, we are in that job,” he added.
On the other hand, Cholo revealed that he will be able to count on Cesar Azpilicuetabut not yet with Llorente. «In principle, César will travel. Llorente is very well, but the doctors have decided that he should not travel as a precaution. It’s a shame that we can’t have him, we lost him a long time ago and we also need the energy that Llorente gives us,” he said.
He also spoke about the Argentine’s form Nahuel Molinascorer of the tying goal against PSG. «We always expect the best from each other. He has grown positionally in his game, it allows us to attack with more people and defend in the same way with more people, with speed above all. Let’s hope he can maintain this consistency, which is always the most important thing for all footballers,” he expressed.
About Alexander Sorlothnoted that it is “very good.” «That he didn’t have to join PSG doesn’t change anything at all. He came in with Las Palmas and did very well; During the week he started for Vic, giving his best effort. We have a squad in which anyone who is left out will seem like something is wrong with them. Nothing happens, there is a choice of footballers who we believe can do good for the game. That’s how we handle ourselves, one day it will be more time for one, one day it will be less time for others. “We are not going to change that,” he said.
Finally, he praised the work of Jagoba Arrasate in Mallorca. «We are going to face a team that plays very well, that has very few goals against, that defends very well, that has a very clear idea with the coach, that has worked for many years in Osasuna and now represents it very well. in Mallorca,” he analyzed.
«It is a brave team, a team that has good aerial play, a team that knows how to defend low and counterpunch in quick transitions, a team that knows how to take advantage of its speed on the wings to attack, a team that knows how to defend low and counterpunch. “It is a team that is doing very well in the championship and that is working very well in all these games since the League began,” he concluded.
