Atletico Madrid is preparing for their blockbuster La Liga collision against Barcelona, but the spirit is still on Wednesday's defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League. They continue to feel very hard, especially with regard to the circumstances of their loss of penalty shoot-out at the Metropolitano.
In a rare moment, Atleti chief coach Diego Simeone chose to talk about this subject in more time during his press conference for the competition, according to Diario ALS.
“Normally I always say focus on Barcelona. This time the situation deserves an explanation about my feelings. It is about anger, anger, injustice … But from my place the only thing I have the power is to do, so that the team continues to compete as it competes. We understand our people and clearly the feeling that we all have in Atlético, there is one of anger, anger and injustice. “
Simeone gave his opinion about the upcoming match against Barcelona, which he expects to be very difficult.
“We have a great chance to do a great rival, who plays very well. We have explained what we think of Barcelona many times. To think about ourselves and transfer to people the illusion of continuing to compete like us.
“We are worried about everything. They play brilliantly as a team. They are very well managed this week and we will certainly have to take the game to where we think we can cause damage. “
Simeone also spoke about the recovery process that his party has undertaken in recent days, whereby this has been a remarkable subject in recent hours, given the response of Real Madrid about this.
“We spread the break well. We gave a day off, we trained on Friday and now a day and a half to today to recover. Tomorrow all the guys who participated will be very excited and those who didn't do that, they would like to help. It is a very important match. “
