live broadcast on september 1st, atletico madrid defeated athletic bilbao 1-0, atletico madrid coach simeone attended the press conference.

after being criticised on wednesday, the switch went well.

simeone: "i don't pay much attention to other people's opinions. i prefer to look forward, spend time with the players every day, get to know them gradually, and with new players joining, i need to find their most suitable positions. we performed well as a team, using defense to fight against a team that created a lot of chances, and this time they didn't succeed. in the first half, we lacked some calmness when we regained the ball. we were not precise enough in attack and the field was wet, but we could see that if we passed the ball accurately on the counterattack, we could create threats. in the second half, the situation was different. we increased our precision, with lino and gallagher controlling the left side, and griezmann and llorente controlling the right side. obviously there was a threat. i think it's time to use three forwards to speed up and apply more active pressure. correa showed his ability again... i'm happy for him. he always asks for more game time, sometimes i can give him, but sometimes i can't."

three clean sheets.

simeone: "we had a squad that could play in different ways. against espanyol, we kept attacking and created important chances - although we couldn't convert them into goals. that's the way we wanted to play. today we expected something different and played the way we wanted, with a solid defence. then we added strength with the substitutions and sorloth did a great job in the goal. as we always say, the substitutions give the team more energy and life."
