• Chronicle: Atletico returns to his traffic jam

At times, the board smiled at Diego Pablo Simeone. He pulled Morata, in a state of grace, and Atlético crossed the Alavés barbed wire. But Lucas Pérez returned his family to the couch. Even so, the Argentine coach issued an enigmatic message: "I have things clearer and clearer ...".

"No, we have not lost two points, the opponent made a great first half, better than us, then came Lucas's goal, which was tremendous. I have things clearer, and the dates pass. I am very clear" said the Argentine at a press conference.

"We have to keep the second half, we press the second ball and attack with the sides," summed up the 'Cholo', who also criticized himself. "If a team does not start well it is the responsibility of the coach because there is something that did not excite them. Of course, if we stay with the second part, to die," he said.

In addition, Simeone admitted that "the opponent was better in the first part." "The Alavés had received only one goal in five home games and had lost only with Sevilla . We expected the intensity and aggressiveness of the first part, but we could not respond," he said.

Finally, Simeone regretted not having killed the match after 1-0 of Morata because they had chances for it, but chose to keep Pacheco's success. "The goalkeeper made a great stop, the ball did not go out of the goal, Álvaro was fine and his goalkeeper kept Alavés in the game because the match was over with the second goal," he finished.
