Cholo: Enthusiasm and Respect on the Eve of the Derby
Atlético de Madrid is preparing with the utmost enthusiasm and respect to face the derby. Cholo Simeone, in his umpteenth press conference, conveyed the energy and conviction of a first day, with the clear goal of taking Atlético to the top in Europe.
He stressed that the team is representing the club in an important way on the continent. Simeone insisted on respect for the rival, recognizing their greatness, but fully trusting in Atlético’s strength.
He emphasized that, in matches of this magnitude, details will be crucial, and although he does not consider that there is a clear favorite, the team is prepared for everything that comes. The Argentine coach sees the match as a sure opportunity.
When questioned about Julián Alvarez’s potential, Simeone was optimistic, pointing to his youth and room for improvement. He is excited about the idea that Julián can score counter-attack goals as he has the tools to do so.
For Cholo, the most important thing is the next match, without prioritizing between the League and the Champions. The Colchoneros coach highlighted the importance of Real Madrid’s history in the Champions League, but is confident that Atlético will have a great opportunity.
