Simeone: "Rayo Vallecano" was stronger than us

Atletico head coach Diego Simeone shared his thoughts on the heavy defeat (0-3) against Rayo Vallecano in the 24th round of the Spanish championship. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This time, Simeone openly admitted the truth without looking for any excuses: the stronger team on the field won. According to Simeone, Rayo Vallecano dominated the game significantly, while Atletico created almost no chances.

He explained it as follows: "They were stronger than us. We had very few opportunities.

This issue is not related to desire or intensity. We played very poorly, and they performed much better.

That is why they had more chances. Quick transitions to attack and decisive passes were not of good quality.

It was clear that they deserved the victory." Simeone did not attribute this defeat to chance or bad luck. On the contrary, he openly acknowledged the team's problems: quick attacks did not work, accuracy was lacking in decisive passes, and as a result, there was no efficiency in attack.

According to the data, Atletico currently stands third in the La Liga table with 45 points. Rayo Vallecano, after 23 games, is in 17th place with 25 points.

Nevertheless, Atletico's high position in the standings played no role in this match. The real football on the field determined the result.

Now, Simeone's biggest task is to quickly bring the team back to its form and level of play. Because such defeats can be costly in the fight for top positions.
