Simeone : "The Celta will require us a great effort"
Diego Pablo Simeone highlighted the "importance" of the match against Celta de Vigo in a press conference where he also admitted that the possibilities of victory come from "team player".
Simeone began talking about the great match the team did against Real Madrid. "What I said after the match. We did a great match with the essence of the team and that it has had since we've been here two and a half years ago. In the derby showed how competitive we are”.
The training during the week has been good and the team has prepare with energy the "difficult" match against Celtic . "We had a week to work with those who stayed and those who came back from the national teams. Saturday will be an important and difficult match against an rival who will require a lot of effort", he said.
The last two outings have not been positive for the team, as Simeone admitted. "Obviously, the last two outings have been different. In Almería there were different issues to what happened with Osasuna, we they were superior, we did not answered and they were better, especially at the match´s startup”.
The Celta is a team with a good offensive because it attacks with many and fast players
Team player will be one of the keys to win in Vigo. "The Celta is a team with a good offensive because it attacks with many and fast players with good connections between the lines and playing a lot on the ball. It will be a tough rival and if we get to the match in good condition we will have good possibility to win and that is what we want”, he said.
Absences of Godin, Arda and Diego Costa are important, however Simeone said that "we believe in our team and the team we have. Some guys who did not play against Real Madrid and Diego or Villa, who played against Osasuna will play tomorrow. We will have great players on the field and the team knows it's an important match. Hopefully we will be able to make a great match and hopefully the players will do their best for the team”, he said.
The individualities in this team are strengthened if the team plays well because Atletico team always plays as a team. "The match against Osasuna team played poorly. We did not respond as a team and individuals, in this scenario, vanish if we are not a team. Individualities grow, and have grown in this last time, if we play and work as a team. We do not believe that someone performing well and doing well win a match by himself, just because we don´t have players like that on our site. If we are a great team will make a strong match in this line”, he confirmed.
