Simeone: Football is like life is sometimes high and sometimes low, winning the derby boosts the confidence of the team

At 3 a.m. on Wednesday, October 1, Atletico Madrid will face Frankfurt at home in the second round of the Champions League stage. Simeone was interviewed by the media before the game. What impact will the suspension have on you?

, just like other times, respond calmly. Has the confidence of the

team strengthened?

Each game is different and we are trying to follow a rising trajectory, which is what the team currently has. It all depends on humility, belief, effort, and continuing to look for this path that we know is good for the team. The best way is to show it on the court, and we hope we can do it. How are the

teams in good health? Will there be rotations?

We met on Sunday morning and met today, but the starting lineup has not been confirmed yet. I have a rough idea of ​​the type of game we might encounter, which is based on the situation of the opponent. We will decide to start eleven people tomorrow morning.

The team has changed since the 1-1 draw with Mallorca. Did you do anything different than before?

It is difficult to talk about based on just two games, and there is still a long way to go, and there will be difficulties on this road, just like life. We all have difficulties. We went through this in previous games. We have performed better in the last few games, but what remains is a long journey and there will be various situations. We treat games like life, not everything is set in stone. There are lows and highs in the week, and so in football.

How to make your message still pass to the players year after year?

I feel very lucky, and I am grateful every day, thank you for where I am and for the opportunities they have given me. I have senior executives like Cerrezzo and Angel Gill who always stay with me and support me in difficult times. It is also crucial to have members of the coaching staff, including those who have left and those who have new to refine the established path. Especially the players. All, in their own way, performed very well, gave the best they could, and showed what I loved, what I felt about the sport. When all these factors come together…I am a lucky person. After the derby, how do you view the team's mental state?

We knew we had to win that game, and fortunately we did it the best way. We undoubtedly need adjustments for the two days, so we gave a little rest time. Now you have to prepare for the next game because when the next game starts, no one will remember what happened before. What is important in life is now, we don’t know what will happen in the future, plans are not decided by us, and the team must work hard and maintain faith. What did the derby leave for your next game?

I have gained something from the match against Real Madrid and against Vallecano. In both games, we were behind 1-2 and did not show that we should be behind. But the team has the ability to cheer up and keep running, looking for the path of reverse that they think is right. The second goal in both games was emotionally decisive. A wonderful goal from Alvarez appeared against Vallecano, a world wave. Against Real Madrid, there was a favorable penalty and another world wave for Alvarez.
