Gio Simeone: “My father is thinking about Leipzig all day”

Giovanni Simeone (25 years old) has the spirit of his father. He is a warrior in the field and also outside it, as shown in the interview he has given to the newspaper ‘Olé’. In it he talks about his career, his vision on the national team, his options to make a place for himself in the albiceleste and, of course, his father. Also, he had time to tell that During the quarantine “I took advantage of something that had never happened to me, which was to watch my father's training sessions to learn the movements that Atlético's forwards made. He showed me a thousand videos of practices and games and helped me a lot to learn to move better on the court, apart from running. ” Regarding this, the son of the Atlético coach stated that “when you want to learn, you are available and you have someone important like my father who gives you the chance to learn, you grow.”

Due to the near return of the Champions League, Gio was asked about how do you see your father in these previous moments and he assured that “every time I call him he tells me about the Champions League. Imagine that I end up nervous even me. All day long he is thinking that Leipzig plays well, the players he has … With everything I learned from the Atleti players, plus my old man who always talks to me about soccer, I end up being one more who is crazy there and who hopes they win the Champions League, which is the best there is“

He also talked about the chances that one day his father will direct him, to which he replied that “we have never discussed it. He already said that not a while ago and that topic never came up again. Because there is no point in talking about something that we both know is very difficult. That I would love, yes, I would love” They asked him to define your father's style and Gio believes that “if Atlético likes to play the counterattack, not have the ball as much and win like this, there will be many people who will like it and many who will not. And it is very respectable. There is no book on how to win. ”
