POST-MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE

Simeone: “We played well”

Our coach, Felipe and Savic spoke after Saturday’s Madrid Derby.

Simeone was pleased with our team’s performance despite the 1-0 defeat in the Madrid Derby on Saturday.

“We played well. We were very good in the first half and had chances to score, but were unable to take advantage of our superiority in the opening 45 minutes. Real Madrid started the second half well and scored following a nice play. We pushed to equalise until the end. We have to keep working hard and think about the upcoming match,” the Argentine said.

Felipe urged our team to learn from its mistakes.

“It was a very tough game. We all know how strong Real Madrid are, but we need to look at our mistakes and learn from them as quickly as possible,” the Brazilian said.

Savic also analysed our team’s performance.

“We played very well in the first half, in which we had many clear chances. We were very compact and it was tough for the opponents to attack us,” our defender said.
