Simeone, after Sørloth, analyzed the seventh round of the Champions in a press conference, in which Atlético will face Galatasaray.
THE EINDHOVEN LESSON TO REPEAT TOMORROW
“Every match is different. At that time, PSV was in great form, just like Galatasaray is now, especially at home. They will demand the best from us, for sure.”
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM TOMORROW?
“I imagine a tough match. They have very good players, especially up front, with precision and speed. Their wingers are in good form, with Gundogan, whom we know well, as well as Torreira and the other midfielder, who both work intensely in recovery and attack. They are very competitive and we will have to take the match to where we believe we can hurt them.”
LACK OF DECISIVENESS
“I understand that in football, the only way to score is to create chances. We work on that so we can apply it and, consequently, execute it better and better when that decisiveness that football demands appears.”
4 POINTS NEEDED TO ENTER THE TOP-8
“It’s simple, two wins. We have to win both matches. With a draw and a win, it’s not enough; we have to win both matches.”
SØRLOTH’S IMPROVEMENT IN THE AIR GAME
“Honestly, there’s little to teach him because he’s extremely strong in the air. He helps us a lot with prolonged balls and always creates goal situations in the box. The other day, he scored a great goal. Very happy with his work, he’s going through his best moment at the club, with consistency, and we need him strong, because tomorrow the match will demand it.”
PREPARING THE MATCH WITH 4 FEWER PLAYERS
“Thinking about the people who are here, which is what matters and concerns us. The club is working accordingly to what is needed. There are still days left to close a signing, which will surely come.”
JULIÁN, WILL HE RISE TO THE PRESSURE?
“Yes.”
JOHNNY’S GROWTH
“We always have personal talks with the players, and that’s what they are, personal. Showing what we think, believe, and need. The door, my door, is always open to all those who believe in the way we need at Atlético de Madrid.”
HOME FANS
“They convey the most beautiful thing about football, which is passion.”
