Diego Costa is in very good state of mind, Simeone says
Madrid, Sep 29 (IANS) Atletico Madrid’s chief coach Diego Simeone on Friday praised new signing Diego Costa’s state of mind and confirmed that the capital football club has learned from their Champions League group stage defeat against Chelsea.
Costa officially joined his former club on September 26, after three years at Chelsea, but he will not be able to play with La Liga side until January due to a FIFA ban that prevents the Rojiblancos from registering new players before then, reports Efe.
“Diego Costa is very good both mentally and emotionally,” Simeone said at a press conference for La Liga match against Leganes.
Speaking about Atletico’s home defeat against Chelsea in UEFA Champions League earlier this week, Simeone said: “We played important matches. Away in Rome, Valencia and Bilbao and we faced Sevilla, we made a big effort in a lot of these matches and we lost against a great rival.”
“For me it is very simple, a team put on a better performance, and won. That said, it is a new match, it is about rectification the mistakes and searching for alternatives to continue improving and to play next matches with a lot of excitement, because what happened will always be in the past,” he added.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
