Atlético's direct classification to the Champions League is getting closer. The defeat of Villarreal and the sprint of his team in the League has allowed the rojiblancos to have a goal that seemed complicated before the break. Simeone also spoke about the possible controversy with the penalties that point him to Real Madrid and the controversies with the VAR. His reflection was simple: "They charge him more penalties because he attacks more."
"I have no doubt that the VAR is fairer with everyone. Obviously if they charge you a lot of penalties it is because you are much longer in the rival area, as they have been talking about Madrid lately. It is clear that Madrid is charged more penalties because It attacks more. The VAR is still a situation to adjust, but it exposes absolutely everything, "Simeone said in the videoconference before the media.
"The VAR is seen by another referee with the tranquility that a television allows him, people watch him at home, when we finish a game we review it and see the images. Of course, impossible. There is always a person who ends up deciding. We will be harmed and benefited, but now it is even clearer when it is offside, if there is a penalty or not in a play ... We see it. We are all more exposed, "he continued.
Simeone spoke about Atlético's calendar and recalled that they have played the most every three days. "We had to adapt to what was already the circumstances before us. From now on, the rotations will be less because the stability of the players is already normal, even though we have five changes," he said before visiting this Tuesday. Celta.
"Very few stars are absolute with 20 years"
Joao Félix will miss the Celta match due to a bone edema in his ankle, although his coach does not hesitate to close ranks on him, despite his discreet match against Mallorca. "We are going to give him time because it is clear that he has quality and talent. He does not have to leave the group, he must be involved, have patience, all that at times it costs him. That will give him maturation, balance, team confidence and Make yourself available to learn and improve, because that's what this game is about. Very few are absolute stars with 20 years. It only takes time, "he admitted.
Furthermore, Simeone made a curious reflection on his team's problems with penalties . "Atlético is one of the teams that has missed the most penalties in history. We will try to continue improving something that is very important and increasingly difficult because goalkeepers are better and there is more preparation. It is something that has happened for many years in the Atlético. We hope to continue improving ", he wished.
Finally, he referred nostalgically to Vicente Calderón , who has already been completely demolished after several months of work. "The Calderón was our home and will always remain so in memory. We lived through spectacular moments there. I remember the goal against Albacete to emerge as champions. I will always remember the joy of people and colleagues on an extraordinary sunny day in a May 25. All that will remain in the history that I had to live, "he recalled.
