Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone in reaction to his side's 2 : 0 lost to Real Soceidad, has said there are no excuses as to Atletico will lose the game.
In a game Diego Simeone's could not produce a goal even after Kevin Gameiro struck the wood work, Willian Jose's scored twice from the spot to put his side in an Europa League spot. Diego Simeone on the other hand hailed his opponent mentioning their win was a well deserved one.
Speaking at a post match conference, Simeone firstly refused to blame a midweek champions league match for players' performance.
He said : "We never look for excuses, or talk about the length of time to prepare for the game.
"We have been four years playing Wednesday
and Sunday. We play whenever we have to,
that's it. They (Real Sociedad) prepared very well for
the game and played an excellent second half.
They deserved their victory."
Simeone also spoke about his team's first half performance, arguing they deserved to be ahead with a goal.
"We played a good first half with big chances to
score, above all Gameiro's," Simeone said. "You
could see that the team was doing well. In the
second half, Real Sociedad began better and
from the first penalty the team could not find a
path back for an equaliser. We will try to keep
improving, while congratulating our opponent."
Commenting on Antoine Griezmann's goal drought, the high profile manager seemed not to have an issue with that. He said:
"We depend on the team, not goals from one
player," he said. "That Griezmann has not
scored for a while in La Liga is just a detail.
Although it's true that we are finding it difficult
in these games away from home."
When asked about penalties awarded against his side by referee Afonso Alvarez, Simeone also commended my the referee's decision saying :
"They were both penalties," he said. "The
referee did well."
