Germán Burgossecond coach of the
Atlético de Madrid, announced a few weeks ago his decision to leave the rojiblanco club to begin his career as a solo coach. The Argentine wants to fly free, and is facing his last weeks as a mattress. Wednesday night he passed by The Stringer of Being, where he talked about everything.
Train Atlético
“Surely. It will happen naturally. In the places where I have trained I have left my seed. I will not rush. You have to make the best decisions. The other day we saw the possibilities that have given me to withdraw through the front door. That is the difference. The champion is not discussed and Atlético de Madrid dismisses their idols and not everyone does. Look that Madrid players passed through among them Iker Casillas and I think he was not fired as he deserved. Retiring through the front door is the best thing that can happen to you. ”
Annoyed that critics use him with Simeone
“My ass is bare. They are things that invite what they will say. There is nothing. I know my friends very well and that makes you better detect the enemy. ”
Your decision
“In February I started to see it so that the team is formed.”
When did you tell Cholo
“Around that time. He tells me that he doesn't have the ability not to let people fly. Other people have moved. We had another meeting with Miguel Ángel Gil Marín and the coaching staff before the Super Cup. We are soccer people. Not the first time. There is more”.
Where are you going
“I do not know. There are people who are searching. Remaining floor hiring another coach. Atlético will reach the Champions League final. When I decided to leave I chose Bahia to take my career. People do not know that I already have everything formed and while, fulfilling the objectives. I am preparing something later, but I am staying to achieve the objectives, and if we achieve it better ”.
Your team
“The philosophy and everything that has been achieved is how I feel football from the mind to the feet. I will take into account the goals and history of each club. “
Cholo Learning
“It is something that we have similar: the desire to win. I don't know who is hungrier. We feed back on being champions. ”
Who will miss who the most
“They are two friends who give each other a hug and I hope we meet. The relationship is not going to change because the friendship is there. ”
Is there wear?
“Not at all. We keep laughing, it's actually me. You have humor, but you adapt the position you are in. Friends measure themselves and know each other. No need to speak. “
Leave Atlético …
“After a long time I understood that it was time to start the journey alone and I can already take charge of some bench.”
What will he miss from Atleti
“That strength that people have. He is always said to be one more player and he really is one more player. I see it at Betis and Sevilla, but there are not many closer to what it is in Argentina ”.
Does the fans give points?
“Insurance. He is like one more player. Then it feeds you back. They all sing and they want all the same. It is deafening. ”
Playing without an audience
“It benefits us because in the way of training, which is what I am going to do in my teams, the way of training in which each player competes causes levels of intensity and aggressiveness to rise. After the quarantine we have done training with the jerseys and the teams that were not used to training hard are suffering ”.
Feeling first coach
“He is neither the first nor the second coach, you feel like a coach. I am a coach and you can see that. I was already a coach on the field. If you have four in front who are coaches, you have a lot of cattle to transmit the idea, fulfill the objectives, the history of each country, each team. Spain is in history having won the World Cup. Imagine in every club ”.
Who would take Atlético
“You have to have money. If I name one, you look bad. See that the Russian (Abramovich) wants to take Oblak. With him the defenders do not look back.
The best moment
“When we won the League we hugged each other, the Liverpool game and when we reached the Champions League final and won it.”
Griezmann
“He decided to go to another team. He is playing with Messi at Barcelona. Then the results will say and the feelings are personal. I said better not to put it on. What you are experiencing are situations. I don't want to throw the stone. “
Most decisive player
“I think about the relationship between player and coach. When they leave we continue talking and congratulates you. The beauty of football is relationships. I would have to name everyone because we are based on groups. If you do that, you have enough cattle. ”
Progression
“Train three world champions especially before and turn boys into men like Koke, Saul, Thomas and watch them become champions.”
Angel Correa
“That operation he had before arriving. See it grow. Become a man. Of Angel we always say that he is going to be what he wants to be. It is becoming more and more complete ”.
Real Madrid just champion?
“A team that comes out champion can't tell you anything. The champion is not disputed. “
Var
“We are always taught to protest everything. To win in any way. I only think about helping the referees in everything. For them it is new too. How we have adapted to play without people. You have to be patient. I prefer there to be VAR ”.
River
“The first steps have to be in Spain. I have credit to work here. I'm not in a hurry at River and Gallardo is there. ”
Espanyol or Valencia?
“I would like to take the first steps in Spain. Bahía will see it with the managers we meet with. ”
Majorca
“I have a great memory.”
Most difficult year
“I see it in the following way. The same thing will happen to Barça with players who are getting older. Atlético has installed an idea that is the one we crushed ”.
Idea
“You can't get away from the things that bring success. The mistake is trying to do something that the club does not need. You have to think where you are going and the idea you have. You can change the system. It happened to us in Catania that we lost many points for playing with another system when the team was ready for 4-3-3. You have to know everything ”.
“I like versatile teams such as Leipzig or Atalanta. In the draw I told Cholo not to get Atalanta because they are 10 days early. PSG have to play friendlies. You have to have the idea of the club. We played against Getafe that has been inserted looking for Europe. Everything has to be firm to know what to look for within the team. ”
Atalanta
“He is second with five games to go. It is making history. It will be important the days after for the Champions League. The Atalanta is 10 days old. We stop seven days and then we go to Segovia two weeks. “
Dream about the Champions
“I don't dream because I sleep little. I watch matches. Not only do I dream of retiring with the Champions League. Soccer knows that we deserve another chance. We are going to try to win it, you plant in two games and in these are rare … What can you save in one game. One is better than two. If you have seen how we played against Betis with 10, the other teams will have a difficult time. Besides you have five changes. What I don't know is whether the hydration pause will continue. My dream is to find walls to fill with TVs like in airports. I get tired of broken screens and having to choose the announcer ”.
His career
“I debuted when I was 19 years old and we were saved with Ferrocarril Oeste. So they called me to train children from 9 to 13 years old. With 20 he was already training children's schools. They made me summarize matches. Something I do now with Manu Sánchez. All is important. To be or not to be afraid. I could have stayed to sleep but I am not afraid and I know we will do well. Go back or jump as Luis Aragonés said ”.
Without fear of anything
“We are made. We are soccer men and we need to keep doing it and we feel like working. I've searched everything. I already have it. I was studying the second coach for two years to call him. ”
Coaches who scored the most
“I name four Carlos Griguol, Marcelo Bielsa, Luis Aragonés and Tolo Gallego, the second from Passarella.”
Luis Aragones
“He is surely the most important figure. Luis what he has given is indelible and began the journey of Spain's victories among the best in the world. I have many anecdotes and I was facing the player. We do it from the first day. We say that we put the car and you put the road ”.
Last sentence to the athletes
“That I love you and that you support the last days.”
