Atletico Madrid will host tomorrow (Wednesday, 22:00) the rematch in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Manchester City and will try to come back from a 1-0 deficit against the English champions.
Today (Tuesday) the team's coach, Diego Simeone spoke at the press conference ahead of the intriguing encounter.
"We are against a team that plays very well but we have hope. Obviously hope alone is not enough, but we are going to try to take the game. Words do not say much, the important thing is what happens after nine at night," Simeone said.
The coach responded to criticism of his defensive style of play and attacked: "I always say the same thing, I'm been a coach since 2005, I have never despised my colleague. I put myself in the shoes of the coaches I compete with and understand that there are different ways to express myself. "I do not share it. The other opinions, the press, players who do not play .. Words are free and we can all give our opinion. Among colleagues there are ways and I have one - always respect others, always."
