The Argentinean tactician refused to responsibility for Atletico’s European title success and believes it has been the character of the players that made it possible.
Atletico Madrid reigned supreme in Bucharest as they locked horns with fellow Spanish La Liga outfit, Athletic Bilbao, for continental honours in the form of UEFA Europa League.
The outfit from Spanish capital ran rampant against their rivals as they finished the final with a 3-0 result in their favour. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 continued his brilliant run in the second tier European club competition, adding two more strikes to his already
impressive 10 goal tally in the knockout championship.
Europa League triumph came as a just reward to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Pablo Simeone who has taken the Capital club from mid-table obscurity in December to UEFA Champions League qualification contenders.
However, El Cholo remained modest as ever, asking for the players to be cherished for their achievement as he shied away from the credits.
The former Atletico Madrid midfielder remembered his backers after the match and believes that their victory in the final is a just reward for their trust in them.
Continuing on the celebrations, Simeone added that he is happy to give the Atleti faithful a joy to behold. He mused that kids will wear the Atletico Madrid jersey with pride as the go outside and is happy to be the source.
"Tomorrow, when the kids go to school, they will be able to put on the shirt of Atletico Madrid with pride and this is the most wonderful thing," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan midfielder said.
"The team performed very well and Radamel had an extraordinary match. But the credit goes to all of the players. We have been mapping the road for them but it is they who accomplish things.”
"This is a great time to remember all those who have trusted in us."
Victory in the final completes one half of Atletico Madrid’s season objectives. Los Rojiblancos are in the hunt of a berth in the next edition of UEFA Champions League qualification stage.
El Cholo’s charges need maximum points from their final La Liga fixture against Villarreal at El Madrigal and will hope for other results going in their favour to participate in the elite European club competition.
