The technician of the Atlético Madridd, Diego Pablo Simeoneafter the important victory against The Palms which made the colchonero team get the three points again in The League. He attended to the media in the press room of the Metropolitan.
GIULIANO’S FIRST GOAL AS A ATLETICO PLAYER
“It is timely to talk about the team. About the team’s ability to get out of the bad game they played against Betis. Play a very good game in our stadium. There were important responses like Giuliano’s or Molina’s, who played a spectacular game. Clement came back and played very well. Galán is performing very well in the band. Pablo gave us energy in the center. “Everyone played a good game and that generates energy for the future.”
“First, I don’t like talking about 30 years ago because it brings up the issue of age. I see Giuliano as a soccer player. I thought you could help us. I only think about the team. He didn’t relate me to anyone or anything. “I don’t think about him being my son.”
PRESSURE ON HIS SON GIULIANO
“He did what he had to do, that’s why he is at Atlético. They have no first or last name, they are footballers. I don’t start thinking about so many movies. I see footballers as footballers. Those who run the most play, and those who do not run play the least.
“The other day against Vic he came in quite well. He hasn’t had a brilliant game. He has 400 at Atlético de Madrid, it is normal that someone is not so brilliant. I have no doubt that in the history of Atlético he will be one of the best players to have passed through here.”
“The game in which we did not respond to what one wants was the Betis game. We didn’t like the Real game because we defended too much. The team against Real did not play badly, they played poorly because they did not attack. He didn’t play the game against Betis. Any criticism the team may have is fair. The other day against Vic we had good intentions. Against Lille we had a good first half and against Leganés, a great second half, what we cannot do again is the game against Betis.”
INFLUENCE OF THE RELATIONSHIP WITH GIULIANO
“We didn’t go looking for Giuliano. He grew up in the club. It’s not that the club made a purchase, to buy a son of… The coach saw him this summer at the Olympics, he understood that he can help him. He will have good games, he will have bad games, but he has what he has to have to be at Atlético de Madrid.”
“I think Clement coming in was good for us, he was playing well when he came in. When he wasn’t playing he showed enthusiasm and attitude. He came back the same way.”
IMPORTANCE OF PABLO BARRIOS
“Pablo is a very important player. It has a different rhythm. “He needs to find the goal, when he finds the goal he will be a very important player not only for Atlético de Madrid but also for the Spanish national team.”
THE RED AND WHITE FANS DEVELOP WITH THOSE AFFECTED BY THE DANA
“I have no doubt about that, I think the Spanish people have responded incredibly to a very sad situation. We didn’t see what happened outside the stadium, but I can’t imagine anything else. The minute of silence was moving. The applause was clearly from the heart.”
