Simeone: “I trust a lot in my footballers”

What do they change to recover the good results?

We try to keep improving, we try to grow in each training session, focus each game as always, continue to evolve and improve.

Suárez has four yellow cards and is ready for the derby.

In these moments, the importance is the party that is going to arrive. Villarreal is a great team, with a great coach, who has been through many teams at a high level and with great players at Villarreal. As for Luis, we only think about tomorrow and in the face of that we will try to behave in the best possible way.

The other day he turned 15 as a coach, what is cholismo?

I have not generated the word. I don't understand an explanation. I am very happy all the way, the footballers who have gone through this wonderful stage and it is exciting to have competed I think there are 716 games. I'm still young and that makes me happy.

Filipe and Felipe have said that you choose your teams to win and do not give explanations.

I am not of opinion of what the others think. They express what they feel and in terms of driving, I understand it as we have been developing it for 15 years.

Does the current situation change anything from a positive streak?

Honestly, I trust a lot in my team, in the footballers, in the work that we are developing and there is a situation that generates optimism in me and that is that the team follows a plan and executes it, it turns out better or it turns out worse, surely working like that will turn out better .

Where do the keys to the game against Villarreal pass?

Villarreal, because of their game, is usually with a lot of possession, ball out, low pressure, a team sheltered in their half of the field trying to take advantage of some counterattack and with Gerard Moreno, Alcácer, Parejo, Moi… they have extraordinary footballers. In the band they put a lot of speed with Pedraza, Estupiñán or both and they have very strong centrals, Albiol's experience and Pau's fantastic season. They are very good footballers and a great coach, who always show it in the Europa League and in our competition.
