Atlético, a top rival according to Diego Martínez
Las Palmas coach Diego Martínez is full of praise for Atlético de Madrid, which he considers one of the best teams not only in LaLiga, but also in all of Europe. He recognizes the difficulty of facing a team with Atlético’s solidity and resources, especially now that it is focusing all its energies on the league competition.
Martínez highlights Simeone’s career, placing him at the same level as coaches of the stature of Guardiola or Klopp, highlighting his more than 700 games in charge of the team and his impressive percentage of victories.
For Martínez, the match represents a valuable opportunity to add three crucial points in their particular struggle. Despite the challenge of measuring themselves against Atlético, he is confident in his team’s preparation and good moment, boosted by the recent victory.
He emphasizes the importance of maintaining concentration, consistency and faith in their own abilities. He expects a very competitive match where Atlético will demand the best from them, especially in defense, and is optimistic about the support of his fans at the Stadium. He appeals to the competitive spirit of his players and the need to excite the fans in this decisive stretch of the season, with the aim of prolonging the good streak and continue adding points that bring them closer to their goal.
