Later, Simeone spoke to the media at a press conference, where he valued the match and the controversial penalty that gave his team the tie: “We had two actions in the match. Two penalties that may or may not have been awarded. The one that was awarded against us and which led to 0-1 and the one that was awarded in our favor, that It could have been in an action that was going to goal and it could have been a penalty“.
El Cholo also praised Alexander Sorloth, who scored the winning goal against the Vitorian team. “He is a footballer who has us accustomed to that type of movements”said the coach, who revealed that he and his coaching staff had “a very nice talk with him so that he can see the place he has in the team.”
“We give him great importance as a footballer beyond the minutes he plays. He appeared to close a game that had become complicated,” concluded the coach, who evaluated Alavés’ game at the Metropolitano very positively.
“The Alavés It developed very well from the order and defensive work. After the break, the team deserved more and improved in their pace, in their decision on the lanes. The chances appeared and the penalty, which seems to go to the goal and could be a penalty,” he added.
Simeone also referred to his 700 games as coach of Atlético de Madrid: “Many things are going through my head. I never imagined it. I am absolutely lucky. I thank all the members of the coaching staff who have worked with me, all the players who walked this path and transmitted to me a way of life. To Cerezo for having supported me all this time and to our people, who Since I have been a player I have had great respect for them..
