Angel Cappa has spoken of Diego Simeone. A few weeks ago, the Argentine made controversial statements about his compatriot, which he later qualified accusing the press of putting the magnifying glass on the negative that he said about the mattress coach.
“I prefer other football. I would never go to see Atlético de Madrid. But I respect it. Above all the message. Saying “the only thing that counts is winning.” That message is disastrous for soccer. Furthermore, if that is true Atlético de Madrid, the only thing they have won in the last five years was a UEFA Cup, ”he said.
“I spoke on television, about soccer, about various topics that they asked me. Among them Atlético de Madrid de Simeone. I said that what you are getting is commendable. That it is historical and admirable, although I prefer other football and that is why I will not see it, but it does not prevent me from recognizing the many merits it has. And what I don't share is the message that “it's only worth winning” that Simeone usually says. I rated that message as nefarious for soccer because for me there are many other valuable things in a team. Atlético de Madrid himself reached two Champions League finals and lost them by details. Isn't that worth it? For me, yes, and a lot. For that message, no, since the only thing that is worth is to win ”, he explained later.
Well, now, Cappa has spoken of Cholo again. In TyC Sports, making it clear that he does not share the style of the Atlético de Madrid coach, who does not represent Argentina.
“It does not represent the identity of Argentine football. Not at all. The admiration I have for everything he has achieved does not take away a millimeter, but that football does not interest me. It does not represent me. That he has achieved things, yes. There is my admiration. It is admirable. The other day they asked me for a historic team from Real and I didn't put it on Ronaldo. I prefer another type of soccer. It doesn't interest me or represent me, as a fan, ”he declared.
Instead, he did have good words for Marcelo Bielsa. “He was in Bilbao training and revolutionized it. Any good Argentine coach can coach a team in Europe. It is not known if it will go well or not. There are no results, but they are trained. Bielsa could calmly direct Barcelona, ”he said.
And he added: “Bielsa is within the family of those who try to play football well. We may have discrepancies, as a soccer fan. I speak for what I am: soccer fan. I have discrepancies in nuances, but if I have to put it in a trench, it is in this trench. Not with Mourinho and those coaches. “
