Simeone speaks frankly about Liverpool ahead of leading Atletico Madrid's visit in the UCL.
Diego Simeone, coach of "Los Colchoneros" Atletico Madrid, a strong club in Spain's La Liga, stated that "The Reds" Liverpool, under the management of Andoni Iraola, are impressive and steadily improving. His team must not underestimate them before their UEFA Champions League clash tonight at Anfield, Liverpool's home ground.
Simeone said, "We are going to a magnificent stadium with an incredible atmosphere. We must start the game well and not be careless because it will definitely be a fierce match."
Regarding Iraola, "When you join a new team, you are usually excited, and it's true that he passes that enthusiasm to the players. It's also true that he holds an advantage over me."
"I see that he tries to convey everything he has used with other teams. He works very hard on tactics to ensure everyone is involved in the play."
"Everything takes time to find the right path, but he is progressing. In their recent game, they improved. He is an excellent coach, clear about what he wants, and I am confident he effectively communicates that to his players."
