Simeone: "We need to recover as quickly as possible. We've a game on Sunday".

Oh Cholo, I doubt there's anyone quite like you.

2 words: Diego Simeone.



Best of luck. Rather them (or Bayern) than f*ckin' Real/Chelsea winning it.

 

[Galning]

Well deserved victory for Atlético. They can go all the way. Incredible team.

 

[desoe]

Diego Simeone is sensational manager, but I hope he never coaches Real Madrid. Just think about what the Classicos will look like again if this happens

 

[DonAK]

Why would he ever want to go on to manage Real Madrid?

 

[MagIX]

that team spirit, that determination..... : tonight 11 gladiators vs 11 lambs.

He's Atlético through and through. If he leaves them, it will be for Inter.

Hopefully Simeone can do what Klopp unfortunately wasn't able to do and deliver The Holy Grail of club football.

By the way, possibly controversial on this forum, but I'd have Koke as one of the first names on the team sheet in Brazil.

A midfield trio of Iniests, Busquets and Koke is a nice mixture of everything required in a midfield. Xavi will still have his moments but it's time to get more energy into the team. Especially in a tough climate.

Or the EPL. They will try to lure him.

 

[Samuel Eto'o]

What a performance. Nothing and no one was going to get in their way today. winners

 

[ThwiX]

I'm just hoping they won't choke against Real again like in the Copa if they meet them in the semi-final.

 

[Devils]

It took him a little over a year to transform Pathetico Madrid into this Footballing Machine with minimal finances. He deserves every ounce of credit and respect.

You see the intensity and drive in every one of his players faces. It's incredible to see. They are an absolute engine.

 

[JackaL]

Congrats to Simeone, a good managers signals everything already in the first couple of matches, which he did when he started at Atletico!

 

[desoe]

Why would he ever want to go on to manage Real Madrid?

Let's say I meant hypothetically. Games against Atleti really remind me of the Classicos against RM in 2011 - not really that attractive, but full with tension that could cut the air around you. It's like Simeone took the best out of Mourinho, but without the self arrogance and ego issues.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Biggest compliment I can pay Atletico is by saying that I'd rather us face Real Madrid than them
