Liga: “the substitutes brought us tranquility”, says Simeone with a decisive Griezmann

Diego Simeone (coach of Atlético Madrid, winner 1-0 in Valencia for the 3rd day of La Liga, in a post-match press conference):

“The opponent controlled the match better at the start of the match, but apart from the statistics, it is we who have the best scoring chances: that of (Alvaro) Morata, the goal of (Antoine) Griezmann, that after (Yannick) Carrasco, that of Griezmann again … ( On Griezmann) It is true that the substitutes brought something to the ball and to the production of the game. They brought us peace of mind.

As long as Griezmann responds that way when I bring him in, it will continue that way.

I play him when I feel he will bring the most to the team.
