“We come here to compete. There can be some upsets along the way and we experienced that today.” Simeone said. “Obviously the defeat forced us to want to get results in the remaining two games.”
“The team always tries to fight. There are parts where we can’t do it while our opponents are better. Taking the ball away from us. We can’t escape from that situation.”
Asked about the decision to play Antoine Griezmann ahead of the more comfortable Alexander Sørloth. Cholo replied: “We played Julian as a number nine. Let’s see what the opinions are. I don’t care.”
“Sorloth also had a chance to make it 1-2, but failed.”
Simeone, however, was not getting carried away. And wants his players to temper any excitement and focus on their next game – away to Barcelona next Saturday.
“We have to take it one game at a time, there is no way to see our present without working and trying to keep improving. We have to rest before facing Barcelona next,” Simeone told a press conference on Sunday.
“I’m reiterative, I’m boring, I’m not going to change, until the last day it will be one game at a time. If we don’t look at it that way, there will be no light.”
