Simeone: Atletico Madrid "Need" Morata
Diego Simeone says Alvaro Morata's success is important to Atletico Madrid, addresses Inter CEO's comments on Diego Godin
Alvaro Morata was denied a goal by VAR against Juventus in Atletico Madrid's 2-0 Champions League win, meaning he is still yet to score after four appearances for the club since his loan move from Chelsea.
However, Diego Simeone does not believe the Spain striker should be feeling unhappy.
"Downcast? He's only just arrived!" said Simeone. "We need his energy, his strength and for him to keep striving for the chances he's had. If he keeps working in the same way, things will come about naturally.
"We need him, without a doubt, because he's strong."
Simeone also stressed he is unaware of any impending agreement between Diego Godin and Inter, after Nerazzurri CEO Giuseppe Marotta claimed a deal was almost done.
"I can't say anything. It's Marotta's opinion or a few of his words," Simeone added. "If Godin or Atletico have something to say, they'll say it. I don't have an opinion on something I don't know."
