Diego Simeone, head coach of Madrid's "Atletico" football club, shared his thoughts after the fifth round match of the Spanish championship against the "Mallorca" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The match ended with a score of 1:1. Simeone emphasized that the team showed a good performance.
According to him, the players controlled the game, forced the opponent into defense, created many goal opportunities, but lacked efficiency. This was the main factor that affected the result of the match.
The coach noted that the team's work was noticeable and that the players were acting in the proposed direction. He also commented on Julian Alvarez's substitution.
Simeone called Alvarez the team's best forward. Although he played well in the match, the coach decided to bring Sorlot onto the field.
This was because the opposing player left the field, leaving the team at a disadvantage. Simeone also emphasized that it is natural for players to express dissatisfaction when substituted.
Currently, "Atletico" is in twelfth place in the tournament table with 6 points.
