“We started rusty after the blow the other day [draw vs Bayer Leverkusen], then received another one [Cadiz’s first minute goal]," Atletico manager Diego Simeone said after their loss to Cadiz.
 
"From then on we had a good first half, we had goal situations to convert, we were not successful in front of goal to have that forcefulness that created peace of mind.”
 
“We have to adjust a bit that desire we have to want to win and many times we end up rushing.”
