Simeone: "The team gave everything they had" | OneFootball

Simeone explains Atlético de Madrid's painful defeat against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.

OBLAK SAYS THE LEAGUE HAS BEEN THROWN AWAY

"I don't share Oblak's opinion. The team gave what it could. They were superior and there is nothing to reproach in terms of effort, work, or the desire to do well. We didn't play a good match, they were better, we congratulate them and now we have to think about Wednesday."

ONE OF LIME AND ONE OF AREA

"It's not a matter of explanation. The opponent was superior, we tried in the first half to create chances down the right side, where we were able to progress well. But we couldn't find the way to score and they were more clinical. They were forceful, pressed our ball out very well, took away our time to progress in the match, and we have to congratulate them because they played a good game and we did not play the one we wanted."

POSITIVE THINGS DESPITE THE DEFEAT

"We keep watching the players who have arrived, Rodrigo had more time, Vargas came in, and we keep growing and improving. We need them to compete the way we want. That is the positive part, thinking about Brugge. Molina had another very good game. We were not clinical, we didn't have goal-scoring chances, they were forceful with theirs and that was the game."

REAL OBJECTIVE IN LA LIGA

"Our objective is to play every match as if it were the last. Today we couldn't represent that. Now, we focus on the Champions League, which is coming up in a few days."
