Simeone: "It’s an important win"
Our return to the League was rewarded with a win against Espanyol. Simeone emphasized the effort of his football players and is already thinking about Villarreal.
Diego Pablo Simeone noted that the victory was hard because, "The rival played a good match. It’s an important win after advancing to the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday. The first half was rather messy and the second half was more balanced, even-matched and thanks to the team’s definition when shooting on goal, we won three very important points for us."
He stressed the team’s good trajectory this year. "When 2017 began, there was a different path than at the end of 2016. We cannot turn away from that. We need to defend well, work strongly as a team, like the guys have been doing. From there, we must create situations that can bring us closer to winning fixtures. That was always our strength. It’s clear that with the enormous effort of the football players, the team wins,” he said.
