Enrique Cerezo, president of Atléticoattended the media before the directive lunch in which he will host the expedition of the Manchester United. The president trusts Simeone, in the team and launches a warning about João Félix and the frequent faults to which he is subjected.
There is a lot of talk about Simeone’s future at Atlético…
Simeone will be here as long as he wants. He is already. What he has done in these ten years at Atleti I doubt anyone would have done. We are with him inside and outside the locker room.
Are you worried about the losing streak for today’s game?
It’s a different match, a game changer. The League is the League, the Cup is the Cup and the Champions League is the Champions League.
Is it more the fault of the players than the coach?
In all the teams in the world there are good and bad streaks. The bad luck is that we have been out of shape for a few months and we have to accept it. That doesn’t mean how we’re going to finish in the league or how things will go this afternoon. All teams have bad and good streaks, at the beginning, at the end or in the middle. It has touched us in the center. We are going to try to overcome it, I think we will achieve it and we want to win games and add points in the League to be where we have to be.
Christian arrives.
Cristiano is a magnificent player. We have played many times with him and we have not had any fear.
And João Félix aims to start against Cristiano…
João is a magnificent footballer, one of the best in the League and in Europe and he tries to prove it. But for one reason or another, he is always on the ground…
