Diego Pablo Simeone spoke to the media before the match against Mallorca. The Atlético coach indicated that “each of us from the place where we are working for Atlético best represents what Atlético is. Some perceive it in one way and others may not interpret it that way.
Major objective: “We don’t stray from game to game, from keeping an eye on the opponent who has done a great job since Aguirre’s arrival and will play a very intelligent match, as he usually does. We will take the game where we believe we can hurt him”.
Flag at the Camp Nou: “The club works for what they have informed me with Barcelona for this fact. It is clear that freedom exists everywhere.”
Message: “I come from a country where it is very difficult to wear the jersey of another team where they are all from the rival team. I hope that Spain evolves”.
Game value: “I don’t stop to wait for the compliment. I get involved in reaching the objectives, in improving the footballers, in generating a family within a team, in making them feel identified with a club that will celebrate 120 years of history this Wednesday. This represents something important to me. And that I have tried to transmit ”.
Season: “They have been better than us in the direct duels we have had, especially Barcelona have had a very strong League. He managed to have a tremendous balance and Madrid is a very good team, we see it year after year. They have Modric, Benzema, Kroos, the same ones from years ago are still competing and they are very good in this regard”.
