He has had to be pulled back.“It was amazing. He took a step back, he thought he’d calmed and he went again towards the Liverpool supporters. “One of them was at the front doing the crying hands to him as he was being sent off.”What did Simeone say?Speaking to Movistar after the match, he said: “There is a lot of talk about taking care, but they (fans) were shouting insults through the whole game from behind the bench. And I cannot say anything as I am a coach. Atletico had looked like they would come away with a point thanks to a Marcos Llorente doubleAFP“Obviously my reaction is not justifiable, I insulted him. But it was 90 minutes of being insulted the whole time. Then you turn around, when your opponent has scored, and they are still insulting you. It is not that easy.“The referee understood the situation. I hope that a team like Liverpool can improve that part. “When they identify the person who did this, it should have its consequences. But he who needs to stay calm, and take the insults, is me. In my place you just have to take it.”After Simeone’s dismissal, Liverpool saw out the remaining few minutes to claim victory in their Champions League opener, and make it five wins from five games this season.This also saw them keep up their record of scoring the winning goal in the final ten minutes of all their matches so far.Atletico became the latest side to be beaten by Arne Slot’s side after Bournemouth, Newcastle, Arsenal and Burnley in the Premier League.Each match has been decided in the 83rd minute or later, with Van Dijk the latest hero.Speaking after the match, the Reds’ captain reflected: “They were pretty aggressive, I must say. “It’s a team that never gives up, they have quality players and can punish you. “[But] I think we’ve shown many times that we are capable of doing it. Today I was the lucky one with the winner, and we move on.”
