Simeone: Villarreal penalty kick is controversial, and now focus on the Champions League

Atletico Madrid coach, Diego Simeone, appeared in important press statements after a 1/1 draw against Villarreal, in the match that brought the two teams together in the framework of the 21st round of the Spanish League.

Simeone said of Villarreal's penalty: "The referee told Oblak that Rynelldo touched the player first and then touched the ball, but I think the pictures say that the opposite is, but well I do not know, there is a video technique that exists and with a lot of help."

He added: "We played the match very well, at all times we sought to win, in the first half they got a penalty and a few other things, in the second half they got two counter attacks at the beginning that were dangerous and we resolved them well."

He continued: "Our attack was continuing as we found a team that is well defending with many organized people and waiting for the counter -attack because they have many fast people."

On the team player Samuel Lino, Simeone said: "This makes me happy for him. He was looking for the goal for some time. He always has opportunities and we need him as we need for everyone. There are many consecutive matches and we need strength and energy."

He continued his talk about Surlon, saying: "Surlus was ready to enter, but I understood that the match was asking me to control the midfield better than moving forward. He was warming up with a desire to enter, but I hope that this desire will be renewed in the next match because we will need everyone."

He concluded his speech: "We are continuing our way, one match after another, and we do not have to look at anywhere else, now let's think about the Champions League match."
