Diego Simeone, head coach of the "Atletico" football team, shared his thoughts after the dramatic Madrid derby (2:3) which they lost to "Real" in the 29th round of the Spanish La Liga.
Idman.Biz reports that the experienced specialist refused to blame the refereeing for the defeat.
Simeone emphasized that his team could have done more:
"I don't think the referee's decisions affected the match. We could have done more. We had to defend our goal better and move more actively in attack. We are facing teams that play well, and if you give them even a small chance, they will hurt you. We deserved more."
The Argentine specialist expressed his dissatisfaction, especially with the gaps in the defense line, noting that opponents like "Real" do not forgive mistakes.
Let us remind you that after this defeat, the "athletes" remained in fourth place in the standings with 57 points. In the next round, "Atletico" will face another difficult test at home - a match against "Barcelona".
