Post-match, after he rotated his team almost entirely, Simeone explained “everyone is working very well, there are a lot of people behind the scenes, putting in a lot of effort to ensure the lads give their all.
“It’s difficult at times, we play very often, but the collective and overall performance is proving to be top-class,” he said, to underline a recurring message in recent weeks about the intensity of the schedule. Diego Simeone on the performance “I’d highlight the team’s excellent performance, especially in the first half, when we were the better side. We should have done better in the second half.
We could have gone into the break with a bigger lead (but overall) I’m pleased with the performance. ” Simeone on Nahuel Molina’s goal “He’s got that in his locker, he has that shooting ability. He had another one that the keeper saved.
He has a very good shot from mid-range. ” 🇦🇷✨ Atlético Madrid had eight shots in the first half against Getafe. Nahuel Molina took four of them and scored one goal.
