MADRID, 19 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The former player and former assistant coach of Atlético de Madrid Germán 'Mono' Burgos is clear that Atlético de Madrid “is going to be champion” of the Copa del Rey 2023-2024, after eliminating Real Madrid in the round of 16, and with the Sevilla FC as the next rival in the quarterfinals.
“They are early finals, for me Atlético de Madrid is the champion, I already gambled the other time. What I don't want is for them to bet on the run, I don't know if it's going to happen, but that's the desire,” highlighted the coach. after the draw for the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey in Las Rozas.
The Argentine said that he analyzes games “differently” since he became head coach. “Now, I see other things, that is, my teams don't play the same as Atleti, but I like it when they win,” he remarked.
“Sevilla has been going through problems since last year that have placed it at the bottom, except for Mendilibar, who has been very good and came out champion. But he is uncomfortable again in a place where he does not belong in the squad. He is a dangerous 'watch', of course it is,” said the coach about the Colchonero team's next cup rival.
The former Argentine footballer considers that he “always” speaks from a “football perspective”, in relation to his criticism of Atlético after the defeat in the Super Cup. “I am a coach and I only observed one detail, but I also said that before whoever won that Super Cup match he was going to be champion, and that's how it ended up being,” he concluded.
