Hupu September 28th Atletico Madrid head coach Simeone attended the press conference after the derby defeat of Real Madrid 5-2.

"From the beginning to the end, the team always knows what they should do, even in terms of goals. The coach will be very happy when the team is so invested and translates that input into a game."

The last time they scored five goals against Real Madrid was 75 years ago.

"There is nothing to comment on, just keep improving. Our fans are amazing, great; they performed and acted very well at the beginning of the game.

This injected vitality and confidence into the players. We have been improving, and this is confirmed today against a very, very good opponent."

Nico Gonzalez.

"First of all, the club made efforts to sign him in the final stage of the transfer window, and our top leaders were confident in the player.

He is cheerful, hard-working, and has the genes of Atletico Madrid. He has to remain humble. I expressed my expectations of him very clearly, and he responded to my expectations."

performed well in all aspects.

"We cannot describe what we see in words. We started very strongly, and the offense and defense conversion, creating opportunities, and corner kicks on the wing road created a lot of excitement...

I am very happy that the guys were able to contribute wonderful games to our fans in the game against their city opponents."

conceded.

"There are good aspects and there are areas that need improvement. We are constantly improving. We know where our mistakes are and will correct them one by one.

We always score goals and always pursue goals. His second goal made us feel uncomfortable, but it did not change our pursuit.

Cork's performance is master level. I admire him and Griezmann because they can contribute all their strength to Atletico Madrid no matter where they are, whether it is just three minutes or three consecutive games of 90 minutes." What does such a winning goal mean for the season?

"We have to keep improving and keep moving forward. Many new players join in and 15 in two seasons, and it's not easy to get them into the team and understand that playing at Atletico Madrid is not easy.

Some adapt faster, others slower. That's where we are working. I'm happy for Baenna; he can play a lot in five minutes. He just needs to improve his physical fitness."

Julian -Alvarez

"He is an extraordinary player. I don't know how he played that kind of ball, first crossing from the wing, then scoring.

He reminded me of Pantic. But what I value most is his modesty and the way he can run even if he is a world champion. We have to take good care of him because he has to stay here for many years and become a legend of Atletico Madrid."

Derby preparation.

"I asked the players if there was any big problem in their lives. They said no, so I told them, 'Go well and enjoy the game, because it's a rare opportunity, and such a game won't happen again.'

Lucky, everything goes well."

Turning point.

"Win the ball."

More than three points, isn't it? The season will continue.

"Yes, of course, we will continue to play tomorrow."
