 | Simeone: The team knows what it wants and does not stop developing14-02-2021 |
The success of Atletico Madrid with 2:1 over Granada secured a lead of 8 points over the second Real Madrid, and in a game less. Coach Diego Simeone feels that his team is approaching the La Liga title and is delighted with his players. The most important thing in this match was the desire to fight and the enthusiasm among the boys - said Cholo. - Carasco has just returned, Hermoso was home for 14 days with a coronavirus, and Shime Varsalko is getting in shape. We are in a strong period. The team knows what it wants and tries to develop. Some of the players put in a lot of effort this afternoon because they had some problems.
The coach paid special attention to Marcos Llorente, who scored the first goal this time, and in total has 7 goals and 7 assists during the season in the league. The young Spaniard shows an enviable versatility after arriving as a typical central midfielder, went through the position of striker, and for some time has had to act as a right midfielder in a scheme with three central defenders.
For every coach, trophies are very important, but there is no way your heart will not be filled with joy, watching the growth of players like Marcos. It`s great to see how a footballer does a great job that he has never had in his career. That`s what happened to Antoine Griezmann, Saul Niges, and Juanfran. Why does this happen? Because competitors never give up. If only you could see Llorente training when he`s not in the group. During the training we noticed that he scored goals very often and we said to ourselves that this boy could not be a midfielder. And then we dared to put him in another position, said Simeone.
