Jagoba Arrasate, technician of Osasuna had no problem, to praise the Atlético de Madrid from Diego Pablo Simeone prior to your visit to Wanda.
Visit to the Metropolitan
“We see it as an opportunity to add. It is true that we have had two weeks to first disconnect and then prepare the game. We are eager to face the competition again. We come from two defeats and we need to add, knowing that it is not the best scenario and that it will require us to give our best version. Right now, we see it as an opportunity to get a good result “.
An Athletic with FIFA virus
“It seems just as complicated to me. No matter how much you comment on these things, they are used to playing every three days, to having internationals. The eleven they are going to serve is sure to be great. We are talking about the league champion and one of the most popular fields. Well, we know we have to play a good game and I’d rather focus on that than think about whether they are in the best moment or not. We have to play a game of ten and we have to focus on that. “
The idea of the Bernabéu
“I think they are different parties, they are different rivals. We will need that solidity that we had at the Bernabéu. You have to have that solidity to get something positive, and then generate opportunities and be effective.

The system against Atlético
“As in all games. With eleven players and defending. Then, the system, during the week we have worked with three centrals and when we see that it may be a possibility, we like to work on it and draw conclusions, decide what is the best. But more beyond the drawing, we have to defend very well “
How do you expect the game
“I understand that they are going to subdue us at times. We need that solidity. We cannot defend everything in a low block, we have to go up. You have to make them run backwards ”.
Atlético level
“It is the only team that since we were promoted they have always beaten us. On top of that, I played twice against them with Real Sociedad and I also lost. We have some similarities, because if we are intense they are more so. It is clear that on paper it will be difficult, but let me now be optimistic. In this type of match, the feeling is that you have to score a goal to have options ”.

Chimy Avila
“Well, he is playing, he has already scored two goals, he is confident. Every day that passes he is better, encouraged and well, I see him well. If he is like two years ago? I don’t know. What I do know is that he is better, every day better. The knee is fine, he is gaining in confidence and every day he is better. It is difficult to compare, we are going to try to make him take steps forward and that each day is better, that is our job “.
Manu Sanchez
“He is a very calm man, who tries to do his best every game. It is true that he arrived yesterday from that double confrontation they have had and in principle it is fine. He does not have that clause that prevents him from playing, so it is one more.”
Griezmann
“I have always seen him similar. At Barça it has always been very good for me. Now at Atleti he is back at a great level. I was lucky to train him in his day. He is a great player and I hope he does not have his day. I also don’t want him to give me the shirt for my son after scoring a goal for Barça, but I have a good relationship with him ”.
