Tigers on August 9th Atletico coach Simone attended the post-match press conference with Cagliari, and will face his old club. Simeoni also responded to Italian journalists about whether he will return to Serie A in the future.
What do you think of today’s game?
I think this pre-season preparation is not the same, . We want to make sure that the team can be a team as much prepared as possible, and the performance of our young players gives us a lot of expectations.
Against Cagliari played well in the midfield. Our defense line with Stuttgart also performed very well. Now our frontline has returned. Today’s game is very exciting and the players have found a good state.
What was the status of the team before the Euro Cup on August 16?
At present, our goal is still to make the team’s status better every day, to see how the next game with Inter Milan, to make the team feel more nervous as much as possible, then we will put the players into the best state. .
The status of the team in the past week is very good, especially in the midfield. What did you talk to Lemar?
In the first game and Stuttgart, our goal is to let Lemar not participate in the defense as much as possible so that he can liberate his offensive ability, because Lemar is the most capable and opportunity to decide the game in the forefront of the penalty area.
Today’s game Lemar is closer to the side, this kick is not suitable for him, so we have adjusted afterwards. Lemar, who appears in the middle of the road, is more aggressive and has a better long-range shot, which is more suitable for his talents and characteristics.
After these two games, I believe that Lemar will become an important front-court player in Atletico, but he is more suitable for the middle.
Why did Camero not play?
Gamero had some minor injuries in the previous training, so we chose to let him rest.
What else is dissatisfied with the team?
During this time we have a lot of children playing, the team adjusted some formations and styles, and played well, our Joaquin-Sorano also played very well in the second half, creating a lot of opportunities for us.
What do you think of Cagliari?
The first half of the game was fierce. Cagliari’s game played very purposefully. There were a lot of people ambushing in the penalty area. Waiting for the cross from the side, their cross was very threatening.
What is the goal of Atletico this year?
Our goal is of course to do as much as possible last season and continue to improve. Of course, it is very difficult for Atletico to make every move forward.
Is Atleti’s interest in your son Giovanni true?
I am very satisfied with the performance of my son, but I feel that I can’t say here that I want my son to join this kind of thing, not a suitable occasion.
Will you return to Italy to coach in the future?
I will definitely go to other teams in the future, but I am very happy at Atletico Madrid. We all know that I still want to continue working for Atletico.
Costa, Gretzman, will Lucas play next time?
Of course, the next Gretzman, Costa, Lucas and Thomas will come back. Gretzmann and Lucas will get some playing time for Thomas and Costa. Let’s look at the situation.
What kind of expectations are there for Kalinic?
Now he is not our player, so I will not discuss players from other teams.
