Diego Simeone he did it again. Atlético won Girona by the minimum with a goal from Morata in the last breath (0-1), the perfect script that fills Cholo with pleasure. The Argentine coach, probably the greatest expert in this type of triumph suffered, added his victory number 100 by 0-1 or 1-0 since he has been at Atlético.
Questioned about that event, Simeone remembered his colleague Xavi, who accumulates 11 victories this year with those figures, nine of them in the League. “Today I listen to many strategists who like the beautiful game saying that the 1-0 is also beautiful. Of course it’s pretty! There is a high concentration, an attention in the offensive and defensive part…”.

The Atlético coach quoting Xavi, but everything was understood. Barça is the European club in the major leagues with the most 1-0 victories, some quite lucky like the one this Sunday in San Mames. Nor is it the first time that Simeone has released a message for Xavi. The Argentinian has nailed a phrase that the Barcelona player pronounced in 2016, a comment that he recalled just a year ago in his first confrontation on the benches.
“Back in 2016 I remember Xavi commenting that Atlético de Madrid’s style was not for big teams. Now he will have the chance, with the arrival of so many footballers and with three reinforcements in the offensive part, to deploy everything he is looking for, what he wants, what he imagines and what he grew from his cradle in Barcelona”. This Monday he did not miss the opportunity to throw a new dart at him.
