Simeone: “We need to improve offensively”

The coach of Atlético de Madrid, Diego Pablo Simeone, celebrated an important victory to keep up with FC Barcelona in LaLiga EA Sports, with a 0-1 against a great Celta in Balaídos, thanks to Julián Álvarez who “appeared”.

‘Cholo’ praised the Argentine, scorer of the goal in the 90th minute, and highlighted that his team is growing from behind and has to “improve offensively.” “They are special footballers. We need time for him and Sorloth to find partnerships. The team is working very well defensively, with very good collective work, except for the first half with Rayo,” he stated.

“We need to improve offensively, improve in partnerships. The first step is mine, to find who can associate better, we will look for them. The boys are predisposed, you can see them, whoever comes in, they look for the three points,” he added.

Furthermore, the red and white coach gave a lot of value to the victory, despite the suffering and the need to improve. “It is a rival that has not lost since February, with a coach who plays very well with the youth players. Whoever made a mistake lost and we took advantage of the opportunity we had. It was necessary because we have a rival that got 21 points, Barcelona, that he must be congratulated because he is doing extraordinarily well,” he recalled.

“The changes fed us,” he added, also highlighting the adaptation of Gallagher and Le Normand, the stops of Oblak and, again, the defense with “patience and keeping a clean sheet.” “Celta has not lost at home since February, we will have done something good to be able to win the game,” he noted, celebrating that Julián “appeared” and that Sorloth “is about to fall.”
