He Athleticthat a capital triumph had worked for 70 minutes against the Barcelona to get fully down the league and redeem the elimination in Championshe delivered an advantage that he had never delivered. Those of Simeone passed in just 26 minutes from 2-0 to 2-4 and being imbued in the fight for the title to get away.
«Congratulate the opponent for the forcefulness at the most important moment of the party. We didn’t last the good advantage we obtained with Sorloth. Lewandowski’s goal moved the energy and caused more attack in Barcelona. We were able to better manage some counterattack play, but it was in intention because we did not do it well. They tied and then scored with a fortuitous goal. The currency touched them, ”Simeone said.
«Barcelona is missing one less and has an important advantage. We must be aware and accept reality, we will continue to match. Now thinking about Espanyol and without getting out of that way ».
«We did not defend the middle serve well after putting ourselves 2-0 and put a goal. He led us to a doubt scenario and hurt us. They have a very good team with incredible category players. The positive thing of the party is that we compete very well with our weapons ».
«Julián Álvarez came with some fever a day ago and this morning he presented a stomach problem. I wasn’t going to put it. He delivered during the game. I understood that I had contributed everything I could and opted to put Sulloth that did well.
«When we put ourselves 2-0 the game was at an important time. He didn’t give me time before Lewandowski’s goal and then it took Giménez. The reality is that the team needed strength for the end of the game. It was evident that they were going to play all or nothing. We could not get strong or respond to the backlash ».
«The players and the team in their entirety compete giving the maximum. They are giving the maximum of what we have. Things do not happen by luck, but by forcefulness. They found the 2-1 quickly and immediately the tie. If Lamine did not shoot, the rebound in Reinildo did not happen. I don’t call it luck.
«Barcelona is the best team. He has the best football as a team and also has great individual players. I don’t think it’s the exception today. They load the area a lot. They have good answers and Ferran’s goal appeared of something that they naturally have ».
