A Diego Simeone, very sparse in words, appeared seriously in the press room of the Al Nassr sports city. He didn’t really want to speak Argentine. Nothing to do with Ancelotti’s good humor. Short answers, balls out and without getting wet. Of course, some classic ideas were conveyed.
“We have to play against Madrid three times and we will face them as always game by game. Of course, we are going to face a great rival, who excites us and generates many expectations,” said the Argentine.
For Simeone, this Wednesday’s match has nothing to do with the 3-1 in favor of his League team in September. “So Madrid had injuries and they will raise their structure as a team and their level of play will grow. It was another moment of the season. “We are going to play as we believe for this moment in the season,” analyzed the Argentine.
From here Simeone only went on to demand that his compatriot Rodrigo de Paúl continue along the path of the last games. “This is the De Paúl we went to sign, we have to ask a lot of him because he can give it.”
Simeone did not close the door on his team suffering any losses in the winter market, given the siren song of Saudi football. “In principle, I am not afraid that they will take away players from us, but we have important footballers who can be seduced by Saudi. “Whatever is best for the club, for the players and for the team, as always.”
