Simeone praises Torres despite Atletico Madrid blank

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone praised Koke and Fernando Torres after their draw at Sevilla yesterday.

Atletico drew 0-0 in Seville.

Asked about Koke, Simeone said: "His coming on made our passing combinations stronger. From the 15th minute I could see that the team, on the counter attack, could get something out of the game.

"I was always happy with Torres' contribution. We need players like Fernando who went on with his usual enthusiasm. We need people like that, people who understand that there is nobody more important than the team or the coach."
