The head coach of Madrid's "Atletico" Diego Simeone was disappointed with the draw in the opening match of the Spanish "La Liga" season.
Yesterday, "Atletico" faced off against league newcomers "Deportivo Alaves" in front of their fans. The finalists of the UEFA Champions League dominated the entire match and took the lead in the 92nd minute after Kevin Gameiro's goal. However, the league debutants caused a sensation by equalizing in the 95th minute.
"From the very beginning of the match, we started playing powerfully because we looked well-prepared and had a huge desire to win," said D. Simeone.
"We tried to win in every possible way. After the match, I felt bad because we should have won this game. We played intensively and had to take three points.
"Alaves" in this match only tried to defend. Their goalkeeper played a great game. We scored a goal, but soon after we conceded one. That's football. One point is never enough," concluded the coach.
