Simeone: We are qualified to win this game, but we lack a goal that will open the situation.

August 31, after Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 with Alaves, coach Simeone talked about the team's current dilemma and once again emphasized the need to remain calm to deal with a bad league start. What the team is missing? "We are missing a goal that can open the situation, which allows the team to grow in all the opportunities created. The opponent defends well, and I think we are qualified to win the game. But it is not the case, we only have 2 points now. I trust the new players, we will continue to work hard, through hard work we will start to get points." The current situation of the team

"The first is always the team, and then the points. Want to perform Winning the game in bad situations is very difficult, and sometimes it can happen, but it can't always be like that. Today's game, they get a penalty kick. We need more shooting and more powerful offense, we have players who can do it, we need time and patience. "

Distance to the opponent

" It's obvious that the most important thing is the gap with the team that ranked first today, but if I only think about this, I forget the team itself. If I only think about this , we will forget to work hard for points. We have to improve on defense, but in the final stage of the court we need to make more improvements, we have to create better opportunities for the forwards to trigger more headers like Sollot. "

Every game starts with the lead

" It's strange, this is the hardest thing in La Liga, and we have had the opportunity to lock in the victory in every game. Against Espanyol, Elche... We always experience this kind of moment, hopefully This period of time can pass as soon as possible, and we can start from the game against Villarreal. "

How are the players in the game?" The lads are training very hard, we must continue to work in the same way and wait for the players who are important to us to return, and they will eventually show their full abilities. With confidence and security, but the sense of security is not bought, but through hard work. With confidence and security, the result will naturally appear."
