Atlético Simeone's unexpected trident that arose out of necessity
First Classification
Diego Simeone
allowed himself a license this Saturday in his traditional speech and admitted that it would be "unfair" not to say that
Atlético
is the favorite to win LaLiga. With six days to go, the rojiblanco team is leading the championship with three points ahead of Real Madrid and five points over Barcelona (with one game less). This Sunday he visits an Athletic injured after losing the two Cup finals - he has accumulated eight games without winning - and the Argentine has "a clear idea of how to face the game."
"As I am part of the four who are fighting for that beautiful thing, it would be unfair not to tell us," he replied at a press conference about who is the favorite to win the competition, in addition to asking for calm before the three away games that are they are coming. "
We are going game by game and now we are dealing with the Bilbao game
. Our intention is to take the game to where we think we can hurt them and focus only on this game," he said.
In addition, he assured that this Sunday they will face a "very competitive" rival.
"With enthusiasm, with enthusiasm and always prepared to give the best, as Athletic has shown whenever we have had to play against them," he ventured.
"I have a clear idea of how to face the game. It is
necessary to put the names so that they know who is going to start the game,
" he stressed.
"Very good growth since the quarantine"
On the other hand, Cholo recalled that since the quarantine of last year the team "made a very good growth from training to the game played on the field."
"There were different searches
in those final 11 games in which we did very well
. The team has been working very well this season," he said.
Simeone did not reveal how
Joao Félix, Luis Suárez and Thomas Lemar are,
absent in the last matches, but finally the three entered a call-up of 21 players.
Finally, he praised the work of
Renan Lodi
.
"He is growing, he knew how to wait for his moment to return to the team. The team always needs all the players, who end up being very important throughout the season. We have a very competitive squad. Fortunately, except for Giménez, we will count on all. Renan in these last two games responded very well to what was asked of him, "he concluded.
