A the conclusion of the clash in the Wanda Metropolitano, Coudet valued the tie against the leader in the press room: “I think it was seen in the intention. We came to look for the three points, to win, I think we made a great first half and I think we cannot talk about our mistakes in their goals, but about their virtues, the rival. The last ball of the first half they conceded the first goal and then the second quite quickly. I think the intention was there, we kept going looking; the spaces were reduced more and it was more difficult to sustain the initial idea of being able to go out with the most played ball “.
“He is a careful rival, the best in LaLiga, with the best coach. It is a tough team. We came to find the three points, we took one. We are left with a taste that we know could have been the three of them, but we know that he is a very difficult rival at home “assured the celestial technician.
For the first time in the last month, Coudet could count on his starting eleven: “I am doing well with the idea of the game, with the intention and with what we have to support, always thinking of improving. We have faced the leader, and being able to play in this way means that we can do it constantly. I repeat that sometimes we play what we can and sometimes what we want. When everyone is there, we try to play what we want, and when not, the characteristics of the players change and we have to modify. ”
Before Atleti debut Facundo Ferreyra, the latest addition to the winter market. His goal was worth the tie. The other change that Chacho made from the bench was also starred by another of the winter reinforcements, Augusto Solari: “FWe go to the market to look for characteristics that we need and that adapt to the idea we have. They are two important spare parts that need rhythm of the game and compete, because they came from being somewhat stationary, but they already know the characteristics. With Augusto we gain time to adapt because I know him, he knows me, and he knows what the idea is. With Facundo, we will try to bring him back to his best version, although it is a nine that has always scored goals; but if we can help him to return to that better version, it will contribute a lot “he concluded.
