Good words have returned to Simeone, this time from Germany. This time has been Nagelsmann, coach of Leipzig and one of the most sought-after right now on the continent, who has valued Cholo's ability to continue for so many years in the same team at the highest level. In an interview with Goal, the coach has been blunt: “Simeone has an extraordinary gift.”
“Simeone has been transmitting a similar style of football for years, which is not always pleasant for his own players and it is not always the most exciting “, began Nagelsmann, coach of one of the revelation teams of the season. And in that sense he values what the Argentine has achieved at Atleti: “The footballers still follow him unconditionally.”
Nagelsmann praises the fact that Simeone's work at Atlético has not been worn down: “He must have an extraordinary gift. 99% of coaches who only played 4-4-2 flat, very low and so nasty, would burn out after two years. But not him“
“Footballers run like dynamite and even then their players like him. Diego Simeone It has something that totally captivates its footballers. That is extraordinary. “ concluded Nagelsmann, who at 32 shines in his first season with Leipzig, one of the teams that, like Atlético, is already in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
