MADRID, 31 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Atlético de Madrid midfielder Koke Resurrección hopes that Diego Pablo Simeone’s future at the rojiblanco club will be “long”, although he is aware that everything has “a beginning and an end”, and has ensured that the life of the Argentine coach ” it’s football”.
“It’s like life: we are born and one day we have to die. There is always a beginning and an end. The longer it is, the better for everyone,” he said before the VI Gala of the Madrid Sports Press Association (APDM ). “Whoever has been able to see the documentary can see what he represents as a person and what he feels. His life is football, totally. He lives every day with passion, with his family and in his work, and it is to be thanked for those of us who live from football”, he added about the recent documentary of ‘Cholo’.
In addition, he stated that “all the criticism” towards the Argentine coach and the team after the poor results “are respectable”. “Our job is to win all the games and then the people give their opinion. We are focused on doing things well on the pitch and winning games”, he pointed out.
For this reason, the midfielder from Madrid still does not want to think about titles. “First we are going to think about Barcelona and try to win there, which I have not yet had the luck to do and hopefully it will be the first time,” he said.
Finally, Koke did not want to comment on the possible arrival of Reinildo Mandava, Lille defender, on the team. “I don’t know him. I don’t know if it’s true or not; if so, welcome, everything that adds up within the group is good,” he concluded.
