Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone dodged questions about his club's alleged interest in Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who ended up staying at Premier League side Manchester United despite his desire to leave.
Ronaldo was linked with Atletico in the transfer window due to his wish to play in the Champions League, but remained at Old Trafford after the deadline for a move passed on Thursday.
Simeone was asked about his side's interest in the 37-year-old forward but the Argentine insisted he was happy with his squad as it is. "We have a great game to play tomorrow at San Sebastian and that's what our focus is at," Simeone told a news conference on Friday ahead of their LaLiga match on Saturday at Real Sociedad. "I think we have a well balanced team, with the depth to compete at the highest level every week.
Now we have to show it on the pitch." Atletico are sixth in the standings on six points, three behind leaders Real Madrid and Real Betis and one adrift of Barcelona, Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao.
