Simeone was not surprised by how the game was, because it happened as we imagined in the previous game. "The game was imagined before playing with a lot of struggle and hard work. Sevilla are very competitive as we said prior to the game. We imagined a game that would be resolved by small details and resolved well.. It was locked up and possibly very ugly, a game played waiting for the errors by both teams. We get one point to continue in a privileged place," he said.

The point is "good" to continue fighting at the top of the standings. Therefore, it will be a good incentive to play well in the Cup match against Athletic Bilbao. "If we look to the point it serves to keep us first and will come in handy before the games coming up. A point also serves for something, if you can not get three points you must get one," he said.

In recent games, the opposition have been more defensive and changing their style of play. "I think the opponent starts to play differently. They go back as Levante, Malaga and Sevilla today, they changed their shape" Something that as Simeone admitted , will have to "find ways to solve this kind of games" "That caused us more trouble finding our goal situations, and we will have to improve. We'll have to look for variants in other games that may be similar."

Finally , Simeone would not speak about "fatigue" because, for him, the game was not decided by exhaustion, if not for other details. "I do not share the issue of fatigue. When you draw, you have not lost because the team is tired. We found a way to gain entry and that means creativity in the game, not exhaustion. The more details you can see the better to resolve games. There was no goal situations and the game was going well but ultimately they equalized. We have to try to resolve the details better in the second round because teams do not try to play well, they are trying to get points," he said.
