Goodbye to the World Cup dream of Atlético. Those of Simeone They stop doing the Americas and return to Madrid Not winning Botafogothe current champion of the Liberators. The exercise of epic that the rojiblancos It soon became a chimera. The mordant that the rojiblancos needed was the one shown by the Brazilian team. Both with, as especially without ball. The divided moves were carried, possessed verticality and generated numerical superiority in the pressure.
«I go with the sadness of having remained eliminated. The goal was to continue and we could not achieve it. We made six points, from three games we won two, we compete from less to more and this time we had to be left out for the goal difference in a difficult group. Nobody cares everything we are talking about, tomorrow you are no longer in this tournament and it hurts because we made a lot of effort to get in a league with Barcelona y Real Madrid and be four years in Champions making better numbers than one of them. We had more illusion of what we did”Simeone explained.
So true is the margin of Atlético improvement as arbitration decisions throughout the tournament have not accompanied them. Against him PSG ended ten players for the expulsion of Lengleta goal canceled to Julián ÁlvarezI don't red Nuno Mendes… in the second a penalty of Giuliano It was in the air and in the third they invalidated a stomp on Julián Álvarez for a foul, rather lacking Sorloth immediately before.
«With the frustration of not being able to pass. Making six points in the group was not bad, but the game condemned us with the PSG, where Any decision always harmed us. In today's party there were situations to advance. Then the penalty was in which he reviewed a previous play so that he did not charge the penalty he was. More of the same. Tranquillity. We have more than clear what needs to be improved and this helps us to do it, ”added Simeone.
The victory against Botafogo has been the last game of the season for Atlético in general and for Correa in particular as a rojiblanca footballer, or so it seems. «There is some possibility for what is transmitted. We have a very frontal and clear connection and talks. He knows what I love him, he gave us a lot from his commitment to the team when he had to play and when not. We wish you the bestwe love him very much and if he has to leave I have no doubt that whoever signed will be done with an extraordinary player, ”Simeone concluded.
