Football: Unbeaten Atletico close to their best - Simeone

Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone believes his side are close to their best after thumping Cadiz 4-0. Simeone: "I believe that when we returned from the pandemic, the team showed that we were close to what we have always wanted. Against RB Leipzig we didn't have anymore that we could give because we had given everything for 10 or 11 matches in search of what we needed. It was to be back in the Champions League position. We have been working to return in this way, we have improved in training, and that makes us improve during the games. I repeat, I am happy to have players who did not play so many minutes last year, and today they are winning it. Like [Mario] Hermoso. [Hector] Herrera is playing very well. I have no commitment to anyone, sometimes some play and others don't. I need them to understand what the team wants, and those who understand it best will always play."
