""To win, you have to create chances," he said. "There are many teams that have game-changers. We're on the path we're on; we'll win games even if we don't shoot much. As a coach, I don't see any other way than to keep trying. "May Lady Luck grant us a victory. We get what we deserve because we don't convert the chances we create. The team is doing well, but it needs to improve its finishing.""
""Atleti had 15 shots and generated 1.43 expected goals to Galatasaray's 0.5 on Wednesday, yet they could only draw 1-1 in their penultimate league-phase match. The draw left Atleti in 12th place, and they must beat Bodo/Glimt next week, plus rely on other results going their way, in order to finish in the top eight. While Simeone was frustrated by his team's wasteful finishing, the Atletico boss is confident in their approach.""
