PRESS CONFERENCE

Simeone: "In the second half, we saw a hard working team"

Our coach analyzed the match in the Camp Nou.

After our narrow defeat in Barcelona, Diego Pablo Simeone analyzed the match.

"It was a very even match, like the one in the first half of the season," Simeone said. "They had a good first half and in the second, we reacted well and did what we could to try to score the equalizer."

In the second 45 minutes, the team started off well and began to dominate possession.

"In the second half, we saw a hard working team," he said. "We saw the team's conviction."

Despite the loss, our side is still second and Simeone is proud of the team.

"I was thought to always think in the next match, so we don't stray from our objective: keep improving," he said. "I think we're close because we always compete in the best manner."
