Simeone: "I think we deserved more" | OneFootball

REFEREE PERFORMANCE

"I don't think the result was because of the referee. We had the opportunity to take advantage of situations that arose during the match and we weren't able to take that step forward and win a game that, I believe, we at least deserved a bit more from."

LOOKMAN'S MATCH

"Lookman is growing, working very well. He’s been giving us different things in attack and we need that. We’re helping him to improve defensively, so he can help us there as well. Because he has that ability. He’s a guy with a huge heart and an incredible willingness to learn and improve. That’s fantastic and hopefully he’ll keep giving us important things like he did today."

OVERALL CRITERIA OF THE REFEREE

"I don't get involved in those situations, because I don't think he interfered in the match. We could have done more. We had a match that, after the 0-1, we could have controlled differently. We could have defended their goals better, we could have done more offensively and that should serve as a lesson for what's to come. We have important opponents ahead and with any minimal situation you allow, they will hurt you."

PENALTY ON LLORENTE AND HANCKO'S

"I was very far from both plays and I haven't even seen them on television."

WHAT WAS MISSING TO CONTROL THE MATCH?

"Control the game more, defend better than we did, interpret situations better so we could attack differently. At that moment, we weren’t able to put all that into play that I’m talking about."

ANGER OVER THE GOALS CONCEDED

"I've already commented on it, this is the fourth time. I don't have much more to add."
