Simeone pleased with substitutes' influence

  • Intro:

    Reaction following Atletico's 2-1 win away to Real in Madrid derby

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone

    "I thought in the first half we started well then I didn't like the team. We didn't play with precision between the lines, we didn't win the second ball, we let our opponent grow into the game. Then we improved a bit. In the second half the introduction of Koke into the centre gave us more fluidity, the arrival of Arda Turan gave us a lot more of the game, the introduction of (Antoine) Griezmann gave us speed in attack. So I think that was the most important factor today - the players who were on the bench came on and they resolved the game for us."

    SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti

    "In this moment we are paying for the small mistake we are making. There are times in football when things aren't going well, when you pay for your small mistakes. In 90 minutes I think Atletico only created two difficult situations for us. For the rest I don't think we had problems but, at the moment, we are paying the price. It's obvious we have to change this. We have to react quickly because we have another important game on Tuesday and then other matches following that. A reaction, in current circumstances, is essential."
