01, 20th, , January 22nd at 1:30 in the morning, the 18th round of La Liga,
Atletico Madrid host Real Valladolid.
Atletico Madrid coach Simeone attended the press conference before the game.
The team welcomes Memphis, what can you expect from him:
He is a very enthusiastic player and hopes to get back to his best form, to return to the potential and state of Lyon. We will try our best to help him find his best form and hope that he can show what we need.
There is one more name tied to the deal, and that is Carrasco.
Do you want the transfer market to end quickly?
How this affects team preparation:
I hope the transfer market is over, we have such good players, any possibility, I will work on the basis of the existing players and respond to any request from the club.
Then the last question, do you think such a deal involving Carrasco, which is beneficial to Barcelona, will affect his performance for the rest of the season?
Do you think this is a good deal:
Rather than asking us this question, it is better to ask Carrasco himself, I only look at the performance I saw in training.
He’s doing well with us and hopefully he can keep it going.
Molina lacks a substitute at the right back position, and there is no right back player in the team:
Yes, apart from Sergio in the B team, we have no substitute right-back players.
We also tried to play Llorente in this position, but you are the first to oppose him in this position (laughs).
He doesn’t like it himself, and wants to develop in the midfield.
Molina was almost always restless because we had difficulties in this position.
Memphis has the versatility in the frontcourt, can play forward, shadow forward and winger, how will he fit into your tactical system:
He is a striker who can be an arrow or a shadow striker.
I think he is more of a central player, whether he plays a shadow striker or a striker, he is a bit like Costa. Costa played a shadow striker and a winger at first, but slowly because of his physique and aggressiveness, he was changed.
Went to the center position.
And Memphis also showed this during his time at Lyon, and also won the No. 9 in Barcelona last season.
He is a unique player.
The winter window is relatively quiet. Do you think that the current players have no ambitions:
I think any possibility exists, players should be comfortable in the team, and then when the possibility of a transfer arises, they will try to solve it in the best way.
Some people are willing to stay no matter how few games they play, and stay on the team for the sake of staying on the team, while some people want to change places and get back to their best form.
