Diego Simeone said his team’s “spirits had been renewed” in recent days, when speaking after Saturday evening’s amazing 5-0 La Liga victory at Levante.
“These last three or four games the team has been improving, in intensity and pressing and creating chances,” Simeone said.
“Today the team’s potential in attack, above all with Griezmann and Gameiro, was present in full. They are more relaxed, and that is renewing their spirits, and bringing positive energy.
“We played well against Roma, especially the second half, and from the start today. This will help us to keep improving.”
“If Barcelona win we are closer to Valencia, or if Valencia win we are closer to Barca,” he said. “There are still many games to play.
“I am only interested in Atletico Madrid winning here, at a ground we had not won for a long time. This was a very important game for us to win.
“I was most impressed by the work of the group. They all want to keep improving, the big players and the youngsters all competing and making it more difficult for me all the time.”
“We do not think where we are playing, we always have the same intensity and motivation to win,” he said. “We must just think about our day to day, and next for us is Elche.”
