Argentine coach Diego Simeone expressed his complete satisfaction after Atlético Madrid's victory over Eindhoven, emphasizing the team's collective performance and commitment to the tactical plan against a strong opponent who had not lost in months.

Simeone said: "I liked the team's performance; we didn't give them any space to play. They had chances because they play well. Key players like Julián have great moments, and I hope he continues like this because he is essential for us. Alex made a great move by setting up the first goal."

He added: "No team controls the full 90 minutes; there are always moments when the opponent is better. We brought them into an uncomfortable and annoying match, and I liked the team's performance."

He continued: "I liked everything about the team. Mistakes can happen, but the team did not deviate from the set plan. We applied high pressure, and everyone gave their maximum effort, just like the 16 players did today."

He continued: "Julian embraced after his first goal just as he embraced everyone, which reflects his importance as a decisive player. As for Sorloth, it was his best match with us; he worked hard, created pressing opportunities, and lifted the team from the back. I congratulate the entire team on their performance."

Simeone pointed to the players' understanding: "Julián returned as many had hoped he would be the key player. He worked hard, ran, and delivered amazing individual touches, and the pass to Barrios for the goal was excellent."

He added about the level of the opponent: "We played against a great team that has previously beaten Liverpool and Napoli, and they play well."

Simeone concluded his speech by saying: "It's not just about rest, I am happy for the team because they are playing well. There are two ways to play: one is doing things correctly but not guaranteeing a win, and the other is doing things wrong and guaranteeing a loss."
