Simeone: Huge for the club financially and globally, but we want more | OneFootball

CELEBRATION OF VICTORY

"Because I am very happy. There is a huge amount of work behind these results that are starting to be more positive than negative. Many players have come in the last two seasons and reinventing ourselves is not easy. When you see how the substitutes come in... I still get emotional. When I see that commitment, I feel very identified. I am very proud of the guys. We faced a team that plays well, which last year eliminated Atlanta... In the second half we were better."

IMPROVEMENT AFTER THE BREAK

"They were attacking to win the match and we were playing I don't know what. We had to change the pace, increase the intensity in the pressing, be more forceful in the offensive work... Cardoso's goal helped us and the changes too. It wasn't easy to leave out Griezmann and Lookman, but seeing those who come in like that excites me. It wasn't an easy decision."

FEELING AFTER THE FOURTH GOAL

"A lot of work. The guys are playing many matches because of our fault that we couldn't beat Galatasaray. Yesterday they asked me if this match could change the season, so you can see how important it was."

ADVANCEMENT TO THE ROUND OF 16

"Without a doubt, for the club it is extremely important both economically and globally, but we want more. Hopefully, we have the capability, talent, and energy to go further."

MATCH OF SØRLOTH AND JULIÁN

"It also happened with Griezmann last season that I played him, played him and he couldn't resolve. I believe in these players, they are very good. And Sorloth, today he plays because he did very well against Bruges. How he came in those 20 minutes in Bruges, the chances he had. Hopefully, he can continue like this because he is very important for the team."

SEVERAL ROTATIONS

"Be prepared to compete. Rotate, more than rotate, I like the word manage. We will try to bring out the best for the club."

MATCH OF CARDOSO

"I was very happy. He is a player we brought in to play and show everything we saw from him at Betis. It has been difficult for him, it's not easy to play at Atlético de Madrid but when you start to feel that warmth... Today Johnny is closer to being what we need."

THE CUP AGAINST BARCELONA

"We need to win in the League. There are still many days left for the Barcelona match. The focus is on Oviedo."

BRUGES

"Never advice. I like the team, very good midfielders. Today a key player in the midfield was missing. A coach who bets on a cheerful game. I think we played a very good second half."
