Diego Pablo Simeone has assured that Samu Omorodion He made it clear on June 28, through a message, that he “did not want to be” in the red and white club, in addition to stating that they will have “60,000 people to compensate” for the 5,000 that will be missing due to the partial closure of the stands during the game this Sunday against Leganés.
«We try to be fair in seeking the best for the club and the best for the team. “He knows very well that back on June 28 he sent a message in which he evidently made it clear that he did not want to be at Atlético de Madrid,” he declared in a press conference reported by Ep regarding the words of Samu Omorodion, who indicated this week that the mattress entity did not want to have him.
Regarding the national team break, he considers that it is “a good opportunity to work with great enthusiasm, with great desire, identifying the situations to improve, talking a lot with the footballers who stayed to work on them.” “We are excited to be able to represent them in the game, in tomorrow’s game and those to come,” he said.
Furthermore, he explained what he considers to be the Atlético league. «The Atlético de Madrid League is two leagues, one trying to excite us and working to catch up with Real Madrid and Barcelona. In the last 12 years, if I’m not mistaken, we won two leagues and Barcelona and Madrid won the following ones, in which we did not come first or third, we came second. Then we left in two rooms; in the first when we barely arrived, if I’m not mistaken, and the last, when Girona had a great season and occupied the place that we normally have been occupying,” he stressed.
«What are the two leagues that I call? One, Barcelona-Real Madrid and all those who run to be in the place of Atlético de Madrid, which is the one that normally accompanies Real Madrid-Barcelona in these 12 years. There is no other team that has been in this situation. The one in Girona last year is a season and it occupied the place that others are working very well to reach,” he continued.
“People who have to leave are being identified”
On the other hand, the Argentine coach stated that they leave “in the hands of the club” everything that has to do with the sanction for the incidents in the Madrid derby. «I think it is being handled in the best way, identifying the people who have to go out, and obviously taking care of our fans, those who are constantly with us and who are a lot. Surely tomorrow there will be a fantastic atmosphere and we hope to work accordingly to what we have been proposing these last two weeks,” he expressed.
«As for the emotional aspect, we focus with enthusiasm, enthusiasm and desire. La Liga returns; It is being cut too often, even though we have many games in a row when we start playing. There are many cuts, it would be good not to have so many,” he continued. «It affects us like any team that the stands behind the goal are not there. They are people who are always there singing, always close to exciting the entire audience. There will be 5,000 people missing, but we have 60,000 to compensate for the lack of people who will not be there,” he noted.
«We must focus on the game. A rival is coming who has had very good games, competing very well in all the games he has had to play. I imagine a rival similar to the one in these last games. Tomorrow we will have to take the game where we believe we can hurt them,” he explained.
«Julián Álvarez is getting better every day»
Finally, Simeone spoke about the situation of the Argentine Julián Álvarez. «He has been growing, he has been adapting to his new teammates, to his new team, to his new city, to the coach’s new game format. He is a boy who has incredible conditions; The other day he played on the wing or on the left as a fourth defending player in the Argentine team and as a third attacking as a winger, like we played with Real Madrid and with him. And he did it very well, he scored a goal,” he said.
«It has the potential to give the team, due to its characteristics, different functions. Every day he is better, every day he is more adapted, every day he is more involved within the team and we need him in the state he is in,” he concluded.
