Cholo Simeone spoke about Profe Ortega and the spirit of the team after the Champions League debacle before receiving Espanyol at the Metropolitan
Atlético de Madrid’s Argentine coach appeared before the media ahead of Espanyol’s visit to the Metropolitano, a crucial game for the colchoneros, who will face only the league and the Copa del Rey for the remainder of the season.
“This is like a family, we usually argue with the cousin, with the wife, I change my mind with your brothers, but a meeting is held and we all get together,” Cholo noted, noting that everyone was talking to each other and that it is a time to be together.
In addition, he did not want to go too far into the case of teacher Ortega and his progress towards the World Cup with the Uruguayan team. “I have never given a public opinion on this subject and when the time comes, he or the club will inform.”
Speaking of the doubts that may arise from the fans due to the delicate moment the club and Cholo in particular are experiencing, the Argentine sent a strong message: “Ask me more, give him more because I would never ask for absolutely anything .”
There was also time to talk about the European failure and the consequences that the team can have, especially mentally. The Argentine coach noted that “they went through mourning the day after”, but “life goes on and in the morning the sun comes up again”. Cholo doesn’t want his team to collapse in the league either.
In this sense, he clarified that in Do Dragao they were not themselves and concluded with his mythical phrase par excellence: “You have to accept it, work and more than ever, match by match”
