Simeone Praises Atlético's Response Against Inter: "We Got Through the Difficult Moments, Had a Bit of Luck"
Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone commented on his team's hard-fought 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League league phase Matchday 5, emphasizing the squad's response to the challenge.
Simeone stated he was pleased with the team's execution of their game plan. He acknowledged that Inter Milan is one of the strongest teams in the Champions League, noting that the first half saw good midfield play from Atlético and threats through transition, but Inter's quality forced them to defend deep.
The coach felt that after the score reached 1-1, it was the right time to seek new solutions through substitutions. He explained that the changes improved the team's quality, allowing them to gain control in the opponent's half and force Inter to play the transition game. He added that he would remember the victory for the team's unity and that, while they gave everything to overcome the difficult moments, they did have a "little bit of luck on the final goal."
When asked about the influence of José María Giménez upon his return from injury, Simeone stressed the defender's importance to the team, describing him as a crucial player who brings a lot to the squad.
Regarding the team's ambitions, the coach maintained his usual cautious approach, stating that the team thinks "match by match" and aims to keep improving, believing the squad still has considerable room for growth. He dismissed the idea of being title favorites, saying the focus is immediately shifting to their next league opponent, Real Oviedo.
