‘We look to the present but I am very happy with this journey. There are many people in the coaching staff who are no longer here. Players who shared the idea, leaders who are no longer here and have travelled with us. It makes me very happy and if I allow myself to thank these 500 games. I will share them with my family – my wife, my daughters, my sons – because I love this club very much but I spend a lot of time away from my family. ‘
‘I’m very lucky. I have people around me who work very well, my colleagues from the coaching staff, the manager, who have supported us continuously and the players who have followed us all the way. No one knows if the stadium will be affected or not. I only look at Gavi, Juan, Filipe who have made legends and the others who are still representatives.’
Simeone also spoke highly of his son Juliano, who has made an impact at Atletico Madrid this season, most recently assisting Samuel Lino’s goal to put the Rojiblancos ahead in the 26th minute.
‘When you see things, you don’t need to emphasize anything more. I would like to invite him to continue working in the same way. He knows how to work and he is another player that we will ask him to continue to develop because he still has room to improve.’
