Statement by Simeone (Atlético de Madrid coach)

Atlético de Madrid's coach spoke about Valencia, their next opponent: "I always look at the positive things that can be seen. I like to see the presence of Baraja. He has transmitted his personality in the best way. He is working with many young players who have a great future, but also have a great present. With Baraja's presence, we will find a team with enthusiasm and excitement on the field".

 

On the departure of Yannick Carrasco to Saudi Arabia, the Argentine commented that "Yannick was a player who knew the position perfectly. We already commented before the match against Sevilla that it was a very important loss for us. "Now we must focus on the guys who can play in that position such as Riquelme, Lino and Galan. It will depend on what they show on the field, what will happen in that position. Everything will depend on the future," he added.

As for the objective for this season, he explained that "time will tell if the team is in a position to reach the minimum objective we have, which is to stay in the league. "We can't get frustrated continuously and say that we are going to fight for Europe. We have to be realistic, for the sake of our fans,'' Baraja added.
