Simeone: "No matter whether your name is Mourinho, Simeone or Flick, not everything goes"

Simeone spoke after the victory in the derby .

Mourinho blast . "We are respectful of what others think; we are in a privileged position in which we are all very exposed, any name, whether it's Simeone, Mourinho, Flick, Pellegrini... We need to be careful with what we say and know how to respect others. Losing, we all lose. But when someone steps outside that line of respect, it is dangerous, no matter whether your name is Mourinho, Flick or Simeone, not everything goes. You should never cross that line."

Controversial plays . "It was an intense match, against an opponent with incredible transitions, and we controlled almost all of them. In the second half, only that one where Cuti and Llorente collide and it leaves Diomande through. I think we were in control at all times through our collective, defensive, and team work, and knowing where we could hurt them, and we are not going to stop highlighting the match because of those things they want to comment on."

How he saw the dismissals . "I didn’t comment on the other plays. The head of the referees already said it wasn’t a sending-off. Now, if we want to dwell on that, then fine, let’s play, But we won the match".

' Did the better team win? "You’re looking for a headline and I honestly don’t need one. We did a very good collective job, the team defended very well against great players and we managed to contain them. Was that evident or did we play the game they want us to play?.'

' Triumph . "I am clear about what the team did, the joy of our people once again after 15 years when it wasn’t easy, and it keeps us growing as a team. It’s one more step".'

Julián, redemption . "We have incredible people, there are no words of thanks for everything he went through as a footballer and as a coach. When you give what you have, they love you. Julián tried, it was hard for him, and we’re going to get him back. And very happy for Jonathan, he gives us that competition to compete as far as we can."

Facing Madrid before the break . "Nothing important or decisive, it is a positive point for the team, we have been growing and we need to keep everyone involved like Koke, on the bench and he plays the game of his life even though his coach doesn't put him on. That is Atlético de Madrid. We need to keep trying to improve".

Building . "We need the day to day, to face Alavés with the same enthusiasm, not to stray from taking it one game at a time, and to know what our pursuit and our destination are".
