Tomorrow night, Atlético de Madrid will host Liverpool in the knockout stages of the Champions League (match to follow live on our website with live commentary). A shock that will oppose two charismatic coaches, namely Diego Simeone and Jürgen Klopp. The latter also defended the Argentinian, singled out this season, at a press conference.
“I don’t know him well enough to know his managerial style. But he was a world class player and I wasn’t, of course. I don’t know the biggest difference between us (…) Diego Simeone’s teams are always perfectly organized. They are world class teams, which makes him one of the best. We met once or twice, exchanging a few messages after big defeats or big wins. This is our first meeting in competition, it will be interesting! That’s football. Eight years, seven probably successful. You lose good players, it’s difficult, you have to change teams and bring in new players and they have to get used to the philosophy. This takes time “. Finally, the German concluded: “People say I’m emotional on the sidelines. But I’m at level 4 while Diego Simeone is at level 12 “. Another match will therefore be played on the bench tomorrow evening.
