In the "Madrid derby," Atlético delighted its fans by defeating Real 5-2 at home. After the match, the team's head coach Diego Simeone shared his thoughts with journalists and spoke about the details of the game.
According to Simeone, Real is considered one of the strongest clubs in the world, and before the match, they carefully thought about how to cause difficulties for them. According to him, Niko Gonzalez, Giuliano Simeone, Pablo Barrios, and Julian Alvarez actively operated on the wings, pulling back the central defenders and creating favorable opportunities for Alexander Sorloth. Thus, Atlético succeeded in effectively converting goal-scoring chances.
"Although two goals were scored against us, I am very pleased with my team's performance. It is difficult to express my feelings. This season did not start easily for us, but even under such circumstances, the entire club team worked hard. I am grateful to them because the fruit of this labor was evident on the field," said the coach.
The Argentine specialist highlighted that after the match against Liverpool, the team found a clear path of development. At the same time, he especially focused on Julian Alvarez's game. "Alvarez is not only an important force in attack but also stands out with his loyalty and dedication to the team. His hardworking nature and talent are invaluable to our club. We need him, we must keep him, and I hope Julian will defend Atlético's honor for many more years," Simeone noted.
Atlético’s victory in the derby was a great moral boost not only for the team but for the entire club system. Simeone, in turn, emphasized that such victories are the fruit of labor and loyalty.
