In his pre-match press conference, Simeone took stock of his team’s current situation: “We’re used to the negativity from many people. As soon as there’s an opportunity to criticize, there it is. It’s part of the process of growth and improvement; we welcome it. We have a competitive team, and we’ll continue to improve as we play. That’s what I think. We’re still in the building phase. We need time—which, in soccer, doesn’t exist.”
