Diego Costa had a nice duel with Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves, who was able to stop the first penalty. “He told me he had seen me take penalties and he was going to stop it, and he has done." Despite this miss, the second chance hi did not hesitate to take the responsible. "You have to have personality. Whether you miss or not, always try to fight to make things right. I knew I would score it, i had the confidence and thank God it went in."
With regard to the team play in the first forty-five minutes, Diego Costa commented that "it’s not that the team has not played well. We were closed down very quickly and went back to the counter. We knew we had to give a little more to take the game forward and we did that."
At the break, Simeone’s words helped them get ready to take the match. "The coach told us that we had done a great job but we lacked a little clarity in the final meters. We knew it was very important to take advantage of our good attacks."
Regarding his scoring record, he stated that "I never look at the numbers. The important thing is always to help the team win games, regardless of the goals. But the truth is I am very happy to have scored and hopefully go on," he concluded.
