Tomorrow night we will be at home against Cadiz, with manager Simeone in attendance as usual. The first question talked about how to evaluate injuries caused by opponents, and Simeone said:
"It's hard to say because not all games are played in the same way and some of the collisions are inadvertently created. Our role is to find solutions to the various situations that the team is facing, so that the team can face the game against Cádiz in the best possible appearance. ”
Whether Griezmann gradually lost his position after recovering from injury, the head coach said:
"There is no doubt that he was in very good form before his second injury, especially on the day against Porto. Betis that game, although it was a substitute, he also performed very well, I believe that after a period of recovery, he will find the best form, and will also cooperate well with Cunha, Correa, João and Suarez. ”
The reporter also asked what is the key to the team's recent state of strength, he said:
"I think it's a matter of time, it's the result of the last few games, the team working together and working hard. We felt strong and tried to bring that confidence to the pitch. The team's mental outlook has been greatly improved, and now it is presented with a more confrontational, aggressive and speedy team, which is what we need to maintain in the next game. ”
Regarding last night's reversal at Real Madrid, Simeone said:
"I did watch it and no one who loves football would miss this game. I appreciate their reversal, who once again proved to the fans what Real Madrid really means in Europe. ”
Asked by friends in the media why that meeting between the top brass and the players had changed the status quo so completely, the manager said:
"There's no why, there are so many ways to solve problems, we just did the coping measures that the team needed in that situation. There are too many teams in La Liga competing for Champions League qualification and the competition will be very difficult until the last minute. ”
The reporter also asked the head coach, compared with last season, Suarez's influence has declined, how do you deal with it:
'Luis will prove himself with his actions, just like in the games against Celta, Betis and Osasuna, we need everyone and Luis is one of us."
