Simeone: "I'm proud of having these players"
Atlético’s coach was satisfied with the commitment of his players and stressed the importance of continuing to fight for the objectives.
Diego Pablo Simeone acknowledged the efforts made by his players during the 180 minutes of the qualifying round: "I am proud of having these players. I am happy of having a team like the one we have. I completely identify with their work."
Being among the best eight clubs in Europe is something that fills our coach with pride: "The Club comes away stronger. We are among Europe’s top 8, which is not easy. If the boys give their all as they did today, I tell the fans of Atlético de Madrid they should feel happy and proud of the players they have."
Simeone also stressed that now, "the objective is the one we always had. Having won the Super Cup as was won at the beginning of the year and close it with the third place, which is obviously what the Club needs."
