After the first match of the Champions League, La Liga returns. Diego Pablo Simeone has attended the press conference prior to the Mallorca – Atlético match this Sunday, September 21, where the mattress maker's coach analyzed the vermilion team, confirmed absences, and the return of several important players to the squad.
MOOD IN THE SQUAD
"Hurt by the effort we made but knowing that we competed as we should in Champions, in the League... Being competitive. We have trained thinking to arrive in the best way to tomorrow's match against a rival who has the same needs as us and with a coach's idea that has been working for years".
RASPADORI
"When we think of Raspadori we think of a player who, as the matches and time go by, will start to be seen by those who didn't know him. He can play as a second striker, on the wing, as an inside player... He is associative, has a good ball strike. The other day's match was not simple to start as a starter. He did it right, he can give us much more. We have talked to him about the things he can give us".
RETURN OF HANCKO AND JULIÁN ALVAREZ
"David is better from the ankle. Julian continues to drag some discomfort in the knee. We are going to evaluate it".
IMPROVE AWAY FROM HOME
"Improve at the starts and be more decisive. I am an absolute believer that football is about efficiency".
SØRLOTH
"What I always value about him is that he always has goal situations. He has always lived with important situations. Strikers can score a goal and return to the streak they had last season. In this period he is finding it hard to have that efficiency".
HOW DO YOU FEEL AFTER 14 YEARS?
"I love what I do, I love it, I am passionate, like almost all coaches about what we do. Everything always depends on the results. It's very nice, but you have to win".
