Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone praised his players after they defeated Olympiakos of Greece 4-0 in the Champions league at the Vicente Calderon Stadium here Wednesday.
"We have produced some good performances recently. Tonight we had continuity in our game and we focused on the areas where we could hurt them. Intensity is the key for this team. After a tough beginning with the defeat at Olympiakos it has been a great effort from my players to take us to the next round," Simeone was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
"That affirms the work of this squad and how the team have been reinvented. Many players are in good shape and it's not easy to be in the starting line-up."
