Argentinian Diego Simeone, the coach of Atlético Madrid, spoke about his team's victory over Valencia, expressing his satisfaction with the performance of the young players and praising the role Fernando Torres played in their development.

Simeone said: "There are several players, and we can also add Ruben and Musso, who have the desire to give their utmost when the team needs them."

He added: "We can play well or poorly, but there is a trait we need, which Atletico Madrid must have in its lineup. When you manage a team competing at the highest level, you need players with this spirit."

He continued: "Nahuel Molina's best performance is evident in offensive transitions, where he has the ability to penetrate, shoot, score, and create goals. This is what he can offer when he plays offensively, as he did today."

He continued: "I expected the match to go this way, taking advantage of Molina's movements, alongside Rodrigo and Bonar, who played a great game. Mursio performed well."

He emphasized: "These players are the result of Torres' work, which is a significant achievement for them and a great reward for Atlético Madrid."

He added: "In the matches where we relied on a larger number of young players, we did not deserve to lose in Seville, and we started well in Elche before the red card affected us, and today we played a complete match."

Simeone concluded his remarks by saying: "We always want to win, but that doesn't happen every time. Today we needed this victory, and now we will rest and think about the next match."
