Simeone on Julián Álvarez, Griezmann, Koke, and the resounding victory** **

** The coach of Atlético Madrid appeared before the media after securing the three points in the Champions League match. **##2##** Bigger away win "We have had other important matches. We knew the rival's need. We led the match where we wanted, created chances, and Julián's free kick goal appeared, a great goal. Then came that chance for Sörloth, but the goalkeeper made a great save. We needed more goals in the first half. The 0-2 arrived, and we went to halftime in a better position. We knew we had to push for more opportunities. The second half was better than the first, with the team understanding everything: those who started and those who came on. The way they came on, even though the result was very good. The four of them provided speed, intensity, and a constant search for the opponent's goal." Player rotations "They already know. And the new ones are getting to know me... at least we have talked so they can get to know me. We are all part of the team. We need everyone at any moment; it's not only about those who start. Today we started in a different way with other boys, and they played very well. That is very good news." Authority "To me, anything that involves winning makes me happy. The team has the possibility to score goals, even better. We don't have to deviate from our path. We have to continue as we always have. Go with some things to be strong. In football, you can only live in the present." Difference in goals in the standings "It is clear that the competition tells everything. It will tell everything. I don't know how far we will go. The intention was there. We were pressing to keep creating chances that can help us in the future, and the team understood it well."

Koke and Griezmann will give, and have been giving, their best in each game to the team and will continue to do so until their last day at the club." Julián Álvarez **#3680#** The question has the answer. Julián is a player with hierarchy, established at River Plate, Manchester City, and Argentina. He is gradually adapting with us, and we hope for the best from him. He is young, there
