Diego Simeone

“Strikers are streaky creatures.”

“There will always be mistakes, all teams make mistakes.”

“I would never close the door on any job because I like to work, I like football.”

“He who brings a style to a club that can't carry it out, he is not a good manager, because he is attacking the club that hires him.”

“VAR exposes everything. Before we didn't have the possibility of seeing some things that we now see. The referees are people who can be wrong as well.”

“In fact, a coach is primarily a trainer, not only in tactics but also in emotional matters.”

“I say what I feel.”

“What I'm trying to say is that within the styles, first, there's something clear: the style is given by the players on the roster.”

“Winning is always beautiful.”

“The teams that defend well are as important as those that attack well. If you don't concede goals it is much easier to win but it is all about having balance.”

“A coach I admire? Jurgen Klopp. No doubt.”

“There is no such thing as revenge in football, or in life for that matter, just new opportunities.”

“I have to continue to be very demanding of myself in order to evolve.”

“Griezmann is an extraordinary player who adapts to all the needs of the team.”

“Football is wonderful because everyone can have an opinion and make judgements about what they think and see.”

“It's not easy to play for Atletico. Talent is not enough, the bar is very high.”

“With any possibly erroneous decision, you can always look back and think you could've done something differently - but always with the benefit of hindsight.”

“Football is marvellous and there are countless ways to play and to win.”

“We play to win, with the arms that we have.”
