Cholo Simeone analyzes disappointing defeat against Athletic in San Mamés

Cholo Simeone analyzed his team’s defeat against Athletic in San Mames.

Disappointment. “In the end, having won at the Metropolitano 1-0 when we had situations to generate another result speaks very well of the rival. Today losing 3-0 as well. But there are nuances. We had three chances that we could resolve better and they were able to resolve the first time they arrived score the goal. And in the second one they arrived too. Then with that enthusiasm they continued until it was 3-0. But then we had the chance for Memphis, the two for Riquelme, the one for Saúl… but we couldn’t be forceful, we failed in defense and to congratulate them. Let’s focus on Betis.”

Lack of defensive tension. “They were not goals in space running, it was not a question of speed, but of ability to win the duel by anticipating our defenders. That is mental speed, not running speed. They worked very well, I like people who work in the middle and he is competing very well in the League and in the Cup he was able to pass the tie that he did not deserve in the Metropolitano, but today he did.”

You are worried about how to reverse the situation. “I am concerned with improving my forcefulness in both areas, because it always gives you the possibility of improving. The reality happens within the areas, we have to be stronger because we have the characteristics to be stronger. Tranquility, these are moments and we trust in all the players “Congratulate the rival because they did well and deserved to win. And think about Betis, which is what matters to the club.”

San Mamés Environment. “Very close, the people with their team, these fans have always been like this towards their footballers, not because they had the possibility of entering a final.”
