The coach of Atlético de Madrid, Diego Pablo Simeone, analyzed the match that will be played on Saturday, December 6, against Athletic Club de Bilbao. The Argentine coach spoke about the team's situation after the defeat against Barcelona.

LE NORMAND

"Today he trained very well. He’s been training very well for three or four days now. So we’ll assess whether he can start or help us during the match."

TEAM’S MORALE

"I don’t dwell on what happened yesterday, I already spoke about my feelings after the match. We need to focus on the upcoming game, which will be tough. A tough, very physical match, against an important rival, with a complex and difficult stadium because of the atmosphere that is always generated there. We’ll have to take the game where we think we can hurt them."

TEAM ABSENCES

"It’s normal that during the season there may be absences, no one wants them to happen, but they exist. I think it’s a great opportunity for the boys who are waiting to show themselves. To give their best, to show why they are at Atlético de Madrid. Surely they will have their chance to prove it."

JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ

"As is demanded of all players. I think there isn’t a single player who isn’t expected to perform, whether they are doing well or not going through a good moment. We always talk with the players, generally about their present. We are supporting a process in which he hasn’t been able to score as many goals. I think he has scored 39 goals since he arrived."

ATHLETIC CLUB

"We are trying to do things in the best way possible. Looking for where we can hurt them. Being aware of the many good situations they create in play and that we must be alert."
