Simeone: Griezmann has surpassed the status of a legend. I feel grateful and happy at Atletico Madrid

At 4:00 on November 5, Atletico Madrid will face San Giros at home in the fourth round of the Champions League. Before the game, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone attended a press conference.

Griezmann assumes new role

Simone: "Griezmann came on as usual and performed very well. The team did well at the end of the game. He has transcended being a legend and now he has to help us on and off the pitch like Koke, Oblak and Jimenez."

San Giros

Simone: "They changed coaches a few weeks ago, This is a team that performed very well against PSV, and under another coach, they also lasted until the 40th minute against Inter Milan, until Inter scored the first goal through a set piece. Their forwards have speed and they play a five-back formation in almost every game. We look forward to seeing the speed of their team's forwards."

Will we see the team we want with the return of injured players?

Simone: "It is normal for criticism to appear. We are in a place where we only believe in winning. As long as you win, you have more or less reasons. Criticism will always exist. I see the team moving forward in pursuit, and we continue to work hard to improve. We have a lot of room for improvement. The faster they adapt, the better we will continue to get."

How much enjoyment do you have in your daily life? You were seen playing a ring game with the players.

Simoneni: "Along with this year and all my years at the club, I feel grateful, happy, grateful to the club for supporting me, and grateful to the players for responding on the field."

Message to the fans

Simoneni: "We need to win, and for this we need our fans. In this club, we need them, their home support is very important."

Where is Baena more comfortable?

Simoneni:" He has some characteristics that can benefit us in multiple positions. As a midfielder, he has a different vision of the game; when he plays closer to the forward, he has the ability to score goals; when he plays on the wing, as in the national team, he has important one-on-one abilities when opponents press. He is here to help and he does a very good job. We will ask him to reach his maximum potential and everything he brings can be better than what we have now."

Is it a difficult game for Atletico?

Simone: "We need Champions League points. That alone gives you a commitment and responsibility for tomorrow's game. They will try to use speed, they defend tight and the wide players are fast."

In this kind of game A big win is needed in the system

Simeone: "In principle, the most important thing is to win. Then, based on victory, it would be better to have other things, but the important thing is to win."

The importance of Barrios

West Monny: "Without description, watching him play is enough to show how important he is in our team. As a midfielder, he brings us energy, play, passion, depth, security in the midfield, and we need the runs to make the team work, and he does it well. He grows year after year and we will ask him, like I said to Baena, to put in more effort because he has the ability to give it to us. He is willing, and when a person is willing, there are good vibes and this can be seen on the field."
