Julen lopetegui, coach of the Seville, has valued the difficult encounter that his team has this Tuesday against the Atlético de Madrid, a very tough opponent who also concedes very few points in their stadium and who is going to demand a great effort from their players. The Gipuzkoan coach considers that Simeone has “one of the best squads in the world” and predicts an attractive match between two great teams in the league championship
“We played against the outstanding leader of the competition and against one of the best squads in the world, I said it last year and now I repeat myself, led by one of the best coaches in the world. That will make the difficulty maximum, but also the illusion, desire and ambition. It is complicated and very difficult, but we always go with that intention, “explained the Nervionense coach at his press conference, who celebrates the news of his renewal until 2024.” I value it with satisfaction and pride. The fact that the club has decided that we continue in our relationship, that we continue together in the pursuit of ambitious goals, fills me with responsibility. That said, let's look forward to the next game, and tomorrow we also have a very interesting one ”, he emphasizes.
The former coach wanted to highlight Atlético's solidity among all the virtues. “He not only concedes few goals, but it is a real adventure to give him a chance to score. It is a tremendously complete team in all aspects of the game, which defends very well, attacks well and also has players of extraordinary talent in all its lines. That is why he was talking about how he is going to force us to play a practically perfect match in every way to be able to compete with them. It is a candidate team to win the League and to win everything ”.
Lopetegui compared his renewal with the amount of time that Simeno has been on the Atlético bench: “It is true that Cholo's with Atlético de Madrid is not usual and that speaks of the magnificent job he has done in that team and also of the ability that has that template in every way ”.
