"Whistles? It's normal for people to give their opinions"

Whistles. “I’m surprised that such a spontaneous act from people that love their team and its manager causes so much talk. It’s respectable. They are thinking about what is best for the team. Sometimes in football you can approve some things and not others. Even though you are loved by the Atleti fans it’s normal that they can review any decisions that you take.”

Raul Jiménez. “I think he’s looking good, he’s training hard for improvement. He’s a guy that will give us important things. The change of coming to play from elsewhere to Europe is not easy but we trust in the player and we are sure he is going to give us joy.”

Surprised by the whistles. “No. Because it’s normal for people to give their opinions of what they feel about your decisions. It was a spontaneous act and these are the ones I appreciate in life.”

Set-pieces and goals conceded. “We must work to improve, but in general as a team.”

Goals scored. “There are situations that need improving collectively because although there are collective mistakes they start through individual errors. By conceding less goals we have more chances to win. Hopefully we can return to keeping clean sheets.”

The importance of the Almería match before games against Sevilla and Valencia. “It will be an important game tomorrow against a team that has improved a lot on where they were last season. They are good in the air and will ask a lot of questions for us defensively. We will be up against an opponent that has worked well, improved a lot and feel good about themselves and are more at home in the top division this year. I hope we can deal with them.”

The absence of Mandzukic. “He is the only reference point in the area that we have. The others are more second strikers. We will have more movement in the middle of the pitch and more referential movement in attack.”
