Diego Pablo Simeone sat at the table of a well-known Madrid restaurant and gave an interview to Martín Ainstein for the ESPN program ‘Bicycle Diaries’ and analyzed the current situation of the red and white team.
The relationship and connection between football and Argentine barbecues: “At home I have a little soccer field and I invite people to play soccer but in reality we don’t even break a sweat, what we do is get together to have a good chat and above all laugh. The boys use it a lot, they get together a lot at Griezmann’s house, Koke or Giménez and that is good for everyday life.
The most difficult and the greatest wear and tear of the 12 years as a red and white coach: “I believe in responsibility. When the games end I no longer know if I’m happy because we won or because we got rid of the responsibility of the game we had to win.”
What the World Cup in Argentina awakened in its players: “Being world champion changes your life, you will never be the same again and that gives you strength and security.”
Florentino manages and manages a club that is the best in the world, I admire him for how he continues to demand that the footballers who are in Madrid compete
Griezmann’s ranking number in the world today: “Haaland, Mbappé and I don’t know how many more better than him there may be today… it makes us better and I hope we can sustain it.”
Resources that have to be canceled to beat Real Madrid: “Plus the extra thing that you have to take into account that is not seen. They have an extraordinary coach who manages the group very well, they have a very strong president, Florentino manages and manages a club that is the best in the world, I admire him for “how it generates continuing to demand that the footballers who are in Madrid compete. Ronaldo, Ramos, Casillas leave and the club continues because they manage it and handle it in an exemplary way.”
What needs to be done to beat Madrid? Plus the extra thing to keep in mind that is not visible…
How he stopped Bellingham: “We were lucky. He is an extraordinary player, he has something that is very difficult to detect, which is the arrival of the second line. He is in a club where he has everything to continue improving and I like him a lot.”
Next objective: “I don’t see the next step as far away, I see it as close. What excites me are the new kids, the Barrios, the arrival of Arthur, the Lino, the Riquelme, the Rodrigo, what they can create for Griezmann or Koke to accompany me in this process. You start imagining who are the ones who are going to support what you want to propose, you have to have support within the locker room because if not it is impossible.”
Be the Ferguson of Atlético de Madrid?: “In principle no, but you never know.
How is Atleti this season: “It’s okay, it’s just in time.”
