The player from Fuenlabrada spoke about the team’s path during the season and stressed that the group is growing on the pillars of a good defence.

The Argentinian coach answered the media at the Press Room of the Astana Arena. Simeone spoke of the importance of the three points of Tuesday’s fixture.

Diego Pablo Simeone has called 20 players for the fourth round match of the Champions League against Astana. All the players of the first team travel except Ángel Correa and Luciano Vietto, who stay in Madrid.

The red and white expedition will travel to Astana on a plane specially chartered for the longest trip of a Champions League match. Almost 7,000 kilometres separate us from the Kazakh city.

The first leg match of the round of 32 of the King’s Cup against Reus has a confirmed date and time: Tuesday, December 1st, at 20:00.

Filipe Luis and Koke agreed in pointing out that the team had lost two points and that they must continue thinking about Tuesday’s Champions match against Astana.

Our coach answered the media in the press room. The Argentinian said he was happy for the football displayed in the first half of the match.

Atlético de Madrid played a great first half, and deserved to go to the half time having scored more goals. Deportivo made the most of their chance to tie.

Atlético’s coach Diego Pablo Simeone provided the squad list to visit Riazor in the 10th round of the League Championship. Lucas, Thomas and Vietto were not on the list.

The squad posed in the Vicente Calderón Stadium for the official photo of the 2015-16 season.
