Hupu September 14th, Atletico Madrid defeated Villarreal 2-0 in the fourth round of La Liga, achieving the first victory of the new season. After the game, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone attended the press conference.

About how much relief a victory brings

"As we have always felt based on the sense of responsibility of the club and the team, the team should have obtained more points, but at the beginning we only scored two points, which was not qualified. So we really needed these three points today, the team played the game and controlled the game well, Villarreal was in good shape, they were very good at counterattacking, I think our control over the game was from weak to strong. Although in the first half We took the ball and created a goal chance, but they had the threat of Morello and could have broken our defense. There was no feeling in the second half, the game was more controlled, Gonzalez helped us a lot, we all put in a huge effort for his arrival, the club signed him in the final stage of the transfer window, we knew he could help us, and today he rewarded part of what we expected: hard work, running, and his mobility on the left, especially in Almada and Ba In the absence of Ena today, we have formed a squad that can compete in the best way. "

About celebrating victory with the team "Today is not an ordinary day, especially after only two points in three games, you play at home and your fans desperately need to win the game. I think the celebration is a good situation to get close and be with the lads and enjoy this short celebration time until tomorrow ten o'clock, when we will start Consider Liverpool."

About Griezmann and Cock playing all over the game

"I was always excited when I talked about them. They are the living history of Atletico Madrid, and they know very well in the team where they will occupy. It was their turn to play today because it was a game that belonged to them. The leadership temperament, skills and calmness they possessed can allow the team to convey these qualities. Cork played an extraordinary game, Griezmann's running, strategy We need veterans to stand up when the team needs it, and I, as the head coach, need to understand that they can help us with amazing abilities. "

About the game performance

"We played very good games for 25 or 30 minutes, and the goal came from a pressure on the opponent's half. Giuliano's handling was perfect, but unfortunately he lacked calmness in his last kick, but I am satisfied with the team. The team is very compact and keeps improving on the defensive end. There was anxiety caused by the outside atmosphere, they knew they had to face a very dangerous opponent, especially good at counterattacking, and we controlled it well and completed a very good match. "

About Alvarez

People need to see the team progress, and hope to see what is happening right now, we live in the present, not the past or the future. People want to see something good, want to see a team that will play, I think it's an important game, the opponent has caused us a lot of hardship, and today we have a very good victory."

About the most satisfying aspect
