Simeone said: "It is always a positive assessment for the work of the footballers, the coaching staff and everyone who works around the team. Achieve the main objectives, continue in the Champions League and continue growing.
"We have been working well as a team, we have improved and the team has understood what to do in each of the matches and that makes you grow. If you look at the numbers of all the teams that concede the fewest goals, they are the ones that are closest to winning.
"We have to improve in that area, we have had it for many years, we have recovered it and we hope to have it until the end.
"If you don't value what you do, you don't improve, others never value it. I really value what we do, what the players generate for the growth of the club, for better players to come, to continue competing... Then there are the other teams, which are very good.
"I think that in the Cup we did very well, we needed to compete to be in the game we wanted and in the Champions League we were good at home. But we value the work, it seems easy but it is not easy to be there year after year. in principle, between the four of us."
