Simeone: We need Julián to stay at Atlético for many years | OneFootball

Simeone, very happy, analyzed the comeback of the Atlético de Madrid against the Rayo Vallecano in an electric La Liga match.

VICTORY CELEBRATION

"Since the match with Villarreal, the team has been growing. In Liverpool, we were close to drawing with the last play of Sørloth. In Mallorca, we played a great match and could have won. Today we could have left with a wider score in the first half and ended with a great goal to draw. It hurt the team's confidence. The second half had a very good stretch, a space in the middle where the team was confused. The 1-2 came and Marc and Matteo entered and the team played very well. They gave us order, calm, and above all confidence. Julian's two goals appeared and goals that we also missed... And then Julian's great goal to close a match that is what happens in football... Without Julian's goals, we would be talking about something else, but luckily we were able to come back".

IMPORTANCE OF JULIAN

"It is clear that Julian is the best footballer we have. We need him to be at Atlético for many years and for that, we have to help him and he has to help us".

WHAT DO YOU TAKE FROM THE VICTORY?

"That we did not lose the criterion with the 1-2. That allowed us to get into the game and allowed us to win".

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE DERBY?

"Winning makes the recovery better. We will have a tough match with a rival who has been winning all the matches".

WHAT DID YOU SEEK WITH THE CHANGES?

"I liked how Pubill came in. I liked how Matteo came in. He didn't start and he came in as a footballer should. I take those things. When a player comes in and makes it better".

WHAT DID YOU FEEL AFTER THE 1-2?

"That we didn't have to lose order. The change was planned, but in football without order, it's impossible to win. We didn't have that dose of luck with Almada, Baena, Cardoso... We need everyone and when we have everyone we will continue to improve".

HOW DO YOU SEE THE TEAM FOR THE DERBY?

"Eager to rest and tomorrow we will start thinking about the rival".
