The Uruguayn guard spent nine years in Atletico before Inter was united this summer. He has had a successful period in the Spanish capital, twice reaching the Champions League final and winning La League.

Despite the success Diego Simeone has had in the Metropolitan Runda, he has been subjected to criticism because of the negative way he has achieved it.

Godin has rejected criticism during an interview with the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

I'd ask, what does it mean to play well? I think there are two different things: the other thing is to play brunito, play well. And the other thing is to play good”, he said.

For me to play well is to win. The victory is won by well-protected and effectively attacking”, he added.

There's a lot of teams playing good football, keeping the ball where I know how many minutes, but in the end they lose. They're not complete and this is not good football. The most important thing is the bottom line, he stressed.
