Simeone, "it was an important game for everyone, the team played as we wanted"
"The enthusiasm has woken up the commitment of the players within the club"
Diego Pablo Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach does not want to sing from the rooftops and in his speech after the victory over Villarreal he spoke of peace and welcomed the commitment to his players. "We have to go slowly. We are aware of that. This change is because they are finding themselves. It is a major squad in which there are many new kids at Atletico, and that takes time. I want to thank the president for the job. The team is improving, doing it calmly and waking up the enthusiasm and the commitment of the players in the club. That makes me very happy. "
He noted that it was an important victory against Villarreal.”Especially because of the intensity at which we played. We met an opponent who has very good players and we needed to have high intensity, because if we play on the possession, of course, Villarreal is a team full of good players, "he said.
"The team played very well, especially with the tension and the strong commitment to the environment inside the Calderon. This was an important game for Atletico Madrid, people, players and me" said the Atletico coach.
He stressed that "the team is over the individuals, they understood and we came out winning as a team." He was asked about Radamel Falcao, who was at River Plate, "I knew him young, he grew a lot on his way through Portugal and I think in this game he should have scored three goals. It took a while to get that goal and he did an outstanding job. Falcao is a very important player for Atletico de Madrid ".
Simeone was pleased by the welcome of his fans. "I found a great reception. This personal and professional time is very nice. There are not many time when you can enjoy some of this. Without the players we would not have been able to win this game," he concluded.
