Simeone criticizes Atlético's Champions League schedule
Atlético de Madrid coach Diego Simeone has criticized the team’s schedule in the Champions League. Atlético was the only Spanish team to play its league game last weekend on Sunday, while other teams like Girona, Real Madrid, and Barcelona played on Saturday.
This means that Atlético will receive Slovan Bratislava with less than 72 hours of rest between games, while the Slovaks have had five days before visiting the Metropolitano. Simeone has raised his voice and criticized this situation in the pre-match press conference against Slovan.
The Argentine coach has said that no one cares that the opponent had two more days of rest and that if they don’t win, they will be criticized. If they win, I will sit here and they will ask me why everything is fine. It’s your part and it’s our part.
