La Liga title opportunities, Diego Simeone urges his team to be calm
2021-01-31 21:15MADRID - Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone appealed to his team to remain calm over the opportunity to win the La Liga title. Now Atletico Madrid are at the top of the standings with a difference of seven points from second place occupied by Real Madrid.
That advantage was added when Atletico Madrid won over Valencia with a score of 3-1 at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid on Monday (25/1) in the morning WIB. Valencia's goal from Uros Racic in the 11th minute was immediately replied to by three goals by Joao Felix, Luis Suarez and Angel Correa.
One city rival, Real Madrid is indeed the defending champion. Even though he is open to beating Zinedine Zidane's team, Simeone still asks his team to be calm and focus on each of the closest matches.
"We only think of Cadiz as our next match and to improve conditions in each training session," Simeone said as quoted by the Football Espana website .
Atletico Madrid will travel to Cadiz's cage on Sunday (31/1). The Argentine coach is still evaluating and asking his players to focus on facing Cadiz.
"In the first half our performance cost us us. But then we played well in the second half and started to slaughter Valencia," said Simeone.
As preparation, Simeone gave his team a day off in the middle of this week. This holiday was given after his team were eliminated in the Copa del Rey so they can focus on La Liga.
His team will then face a tough month. Because in Ferbuari, they will face a tough team by meeting Celta Vigo, Granada, Levante, Villareal and including against Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16. Before finally meeting Real Madrid in early March.
