Simeone: “Pressure? We are excited and it will be a beautiful battle”

How do you rate what happened with Eder Sarabia?

I have nothing to say

How do you rate the five days ahead?

We do not look five days. Only Sevilla, we have the need to make an important match. Sevilla is strong away from home, added new people like Suso that gives quality share in attack.

Have you had to tell your players to forget Liverpool?

It has been several years that we have already been in the club and those who have been the longest know what the path is. The most important game is that of Sevilla and we don't think about the one that will come on Wednesday.

How do you see Diego Costa?

I see him growing up, looking for his best state, training accordingly to want to improve. He was never a great header, his game was more direct, more vertical, more positional, in that game he felt comfortable. I see him better, he could not show all this the other day, but it is a phase of his recovery and we can count on him.

How can you tell that difference factor of the equipment at home and abroad?

It is a situation that is seen in the numbers, the team at home has one more step, a different intensity and a different forcefulness. Outside it costs us more and we have to look outside the solutions for the team to improve. In these remaining matches, at home or away is the same.

Have you ever had to apologize for something that happened to you in the band?

I do not remember and if I remember I would not tell.

Is this match a final?

For us we have tried that each match is a final. We are going to repeat something we have been doing since we arrived.

Does it bother you that you are recorded in the field?

We don't think where the cameras are.

Against Sevilla it is a match that can mark the future of the team …

The importance of the match is clear. Sevilla is a dangerous team against them, they move better with spaces for their fast players upstairs. That's where he performs his best game.

Do you feel pressure for the two matches that arrive?

Both are important. We are excited. Football week, from which one prepares to look for important goals. We have a beautiful battle.

What have the three players who arrived from the Portuguese championship contributed?

Felipe cost him at the start of the season, in the first two months he played little and based on opportunities, he has found a place within the team and is taking care of him. Hector did not take it into account at the beginning, he began to grow, to play, but he had an injury and left it a month out and in those days there are others who took advantage of his opportunity. One left the space and another occupies it. João Félix started with enthusiasm, had injuries and seeks continuity and place in the team we all need and expect. Where it arrives, it will be where one proposes it. If one wants, it will go far.
