Filipe Luis is living history of Atlético de Madrid
, one of the foreign players who played the most games for the mattress club. He was also one of the key players in the team's successes in the It was Simeone.
The player is now thinking of making the jump to the bench. And in an interview in 'Or Balloon’, Spoke about some questions related to how he lived in first person some of his stages with coaches such as Mourinho, Simeone, Jorge Jesús, Tite …
Regarding his passage with the Cholo, has surprised with some reflection regarding the personal treatment with the players. For the lateral, it is the heel of Achilles from a technician who is very complete. As explained Filipe Luis, to Simeone “It is more difficult for him to deal with his players” in relation to other coaches with whom he worked.
“In each training session he asked for the maximum, he always asks for the maximum from everyone, but he is not really good at dealing with people. It is not easy for him to relate to the players. It is difficult for him to understand the personal characteristics of people, but from time to time he swallows his pride ”, reflected the now player of the Flamengo.
“There have been several episodes like those of Joao Felix with the bottle or Suarez who got angry after a change. Let's say that with some players you have good friendly relations, with others you are more professional. He seems to get along with everyone but he is not the best in this regard, “he explained.
“Simeone are you able to deal with footballers? In a way. But he's not one of the best I've worked with in that regard. Tite (national coach of Brazil) is great at that, he makes everyone feel important and his ability to talk to the players is exceptional, ”he recalled.
Despite interpersonal difficulties, Simeone is still a complete trainer for Filipe Luis. “He believes in what he does. The eleven players have to work hard. He can change tactics in the middle of the game and adapts very well to the opponent. Sometimes I wish we had more possession, but what can I say? For him Athletic He is the best coach there is.
THE CLARIFICATION OF FILIPE LUIS
The player wanted to make it clear, later through social networks, that his words were not in the form of criticism, but to analyze what the coach's face to face was like. It is clearer than for him Simeone He was “like a father and a friend,” he remarked that he is a 'top' coach in terms of implementing strategy and tactics.
“Simeone is perfect in the defensive part, practically cancels the rival's scoring chances. He will concede a goal, of course, but the chances are slim. Close spaces, the ball does not enter the middle. The area is full of players. Then I met Tite, with a very different approach, very complete. There are things that it does not have Simeone. Jorge Jesus he has things he doesn't have Tite, but in some points they are similar. Here it comes Rogério with things that both do not have. I took a little of each one, “said the player, who is already thinking about his future as a coach.
