Simeone: "We need to play a good match"
Our coach was optimistic towards this Wednesday’s match at the Calderón. Simeone assessed the rival and said that the important thing is "to interpret the game well."
Diego Pablo Simeone appeared in the Newsroom of the Vicente Calderón Stadium in the preview to the match against Galatasaray. The Argentinian wants to win on Wednesday to qualify for the round of 16 of the competition: "It’s clear that all the games always run their course, and you can’t know in the preview if it will be good or not. It’s always best to win in the preview and that is what we prepare for. We need to play a great game and interpret well what we are doing in the game to be able to win."
In addition, Atlético’s coach analysed the characteristics of the Turkish squad: "We think about the players Galatasaray has, who are players with hierarchy. They have scored six goals in these last two games and that speaks of the strength of the team towards scoring. We work as a result of the rival. They never give up and will fight for the chances they have."
