No goal conceded, but extremely efficient result against the rival area: Diego Simeone should be satisfied with Atlético de Madrid’s performance at FC Salzburg (match report >>>).
The long-term Argentine coach of the “rojiblancos”, who with Madrid brought minimalism in football to perfection, is in the Champions League round of 16 for the seventh time in the last eight years, but Atlético had to fight in Salzburg for that. .
“The first goal was definitely decisive. The first half was very intense, clearly better, from minute 30 it was more balanced,” said Simeone at the post-match press conference, praising the “Bulls”.
“He was a strong opponent”
Simeone acted exactly as you know him at Red Bull Arena. The Argentine only perceived the delimitation of the training area as a recommendation, he had to comment on almost all the decisions of referee Anthony Taylor. But it quickly became too colorful for the English refereeing team, Taylor showing the exalted Atlético a yellow at halftime.
Simeone is much calmer at the press conference, he analyzes objectively: “The second half was more balanced, they had chances, we too. It was not our worst game, we had difficulties, but it was also a strong opponent.”
Simeone compares Salzburg’s match with Liverpool’s
The Argentine also dares to make an interesting comparison: “Perhaps the game can be compared a bit with our round of 16 against Liverpool last season.
As a reminder: in March this year the “rojiblancos” sent off then Liverpool, rival of the Salzburg group, in the second leg of the Champions League. In one of the last games of the “premier category” in front of a full house, the “reds” of Anfield gave one opportunity after another against the Madrid and could not reverse the extension with a total score of 1-1. Atlético emerged victorious from this, after the ‘reds’ could only score one more goal and the Madrid three in 30 minutes.
