Simeone: "I got a response from the team, which is admirable"
Diego Pablo Simeone said after the victory at Valladolid that he was satisfied with the work of his players. The win came after working a lot in the first half.
Diego Pablo Simeone said "the opponent has gone through several complicated situations, injuries to Valiente, Rubio, Oscar... In the first half they played really well, they competed and didn’t let us play our game. In the second half we had a great response from the players."
He said it was "a game to be patient and to wait for our time. In the second half the team had another gear, an insistence that made us more competitive".
On the fact that Javi Manquillo started the game the coach said that he has "a great future, he is growing. We need the boys, even those who were left out today. It is very difficult to train and play and he responded. Those who were not involved today may be starting on Tuesday..."
He also had words of praise for Raul Garcia “Raul is decisive, three goals and an assist. It makes me happy because he deserves it. I've said it many time in the year and half with us".
