Melbourne Victory from Australia can now say that they defeated one of the best clubs in the world this past Saturday, they defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 with an Ansell solo goal. But for manager Diego Simeone, this match was more an experiment in which the result didn't really matter. He had the chance to watch young players from the youth academy such as Theo Hernandez, Caio Henrique, Amath Diedhiou, Rafael Borre and Juan Moreno.
The boss was really surprised by all these players and will certainly give them a chance to play during the regular season. He spoke to the press after the match and said: "I am very happy [with the performance]. These games mean a lot for the youngsters. I liked Theo, I liked Caio, I liked Juan, Amath played well, Borre as well in the first half. If I have something to take from this game it's that they showed that they're playing well together and there is an alternative for the future."
Simeone also praised Tiago's performance: "The first half was good, with Tiago in the team it was a lot better, and I was left with a lot of positives to take from it. The debut of [Diego] Jota, who came in with a knock also went well. The youngsters are beginning to take shape and the best way to learn is against a team that showed a lot of fight and was very competitive. I really liked number eight [striker Besart Berisha] and number six [midfielder Leigh Broxham]. They are a strong team that is very compact."
