Simeone: Key moment, we pushed but 1-0 was a slender lead | OneFootball

The coach of Atlético de Madrid, Diego Pablo Simeone, spoke to the press after the victory against Mallorca following a convincing 3-0. He analyzed what remains of the transfer market, the situation of several players, and the style of play the team is showing.

CELEBRATION OF THE 2-0

"It was an important moment in the match, the team always pushed forward but the 1-0 was a slim advantage. With the good play we made, it gave us an important step towards winning a match that was not a simple 3-0 because they are competitive. We controlled it quite well, the result was good with a great team performance."

TRANSFER MARKET

"We will surely look for the players the team needs because they are needed."

GIMÉNEZ

"Like all the guys who are competing, the squad is working very well. Against Galatasaray we deserved more. Today some of them repeated. Julián played a fantastic match even though he missed the goal. Sørloth scored and Giménez, like the others."

JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ

"All footballers go through these kinds of streaks. Maybe he'll start scoring and end up with a huge number of goals. He is a difference-maker and if we want to reach the important moments we need him because he is one of the best on the team."

PUBILL

"I wouldn't allow myself to give an opinion from a place that is very easy for me, the coach has his job. He is playing very well, he is doing very well along this path and still has room for improvement, but the work is doing him good."

THROW-INS: A NEW ASPECT OF THE GAME?

"The throw-in has become a very important part of the game, there are already coaches just for that. These small big details are very important too. Giuliano also has a great throw."

GOALSCORING EFFECTIVENESS

"It's part of the game, sometimes we're lucky that the ball falls to Sørloth to tap in, other times the defenders clear it off the line... Not all matches are the same and hopefully more moments like today will come."
