Simeone spoke to the media after concluding a season in which the rojiblancos have not won a title and have finished with 61 games:
Bulky result: “We did not respond at any time to the game we had to play. We made an enormous effort during the season and after being out against Arsenal the best game we played was against Celta. With Osasuna and Girona they missed many goals and we won… Today they did not fail. We have gotten used to reaching that Champions League place, but be careful with those at the back who are going to be strong again… And no, it is not easy”
Note to the season: “He was always very bad in his grades. I think we had a good to very good season. We played 61 games. Villarreal, who had a very good season, played many fewer games. We played very good games during the season, but no one wants to come out third, everyone wants to come out champion.”
Goals conceded: “The numbers are overwhelming and hard. Many goals against that do not allow you to compete. In the Champions League we scored many goals and that is why we were able to go further”
Koke: “What we always talk about with him. When the season started we didn’t imagine that he could play that many games. We need him. It doesn’t matter what place he has in the team, but that he is there. I hope we can have a good season together.”
In Movistar they also asked him about Julián: “The decision will have been made I imagine”
