Kieran Trippier, player of newcastle and ex of Atletico Madriddid not stop talking about the rojiblanco team and its coach, Diego Simeone beginning of his departure. Always for good. The English international is well aware of the time he spent in the Spanish capital under the command of a coach who marked him and who, according to his own words, improved him as a footballer.
on the podcast high performance trippers He left an interesting reflection on Cholo and the reason why he won’t see him training in the Premier League.
“He’s different, he’s definitely different, in everything. The way he’s seen on the sidelines is the way he is in training. He doesn’t even have make-up. That’s how he is. Before every game, he’s You see for 40 minutes going . up and down the hall and looking at the floor, 40 minutes I don’t know what he will think. It’s like taking five Red Bulls before the game. You can’t get the sixth”said the Briton.
“But as a coach he is fantastic,” he continued. “Sad to say, really. It was more through body language. At some point in training, if you didn’t do something the right way, you knew you didn’t do it right, He let me know his body language and yelled at me in Spanish. So I knew something was wrong.”
That is why Trippier does not see Cholo in the islands: “I don’t think Simeone can train in England because when he speaks in the locker room, before any game, he is very passionate. And the emotion on his part was very good. You seem ready to go to war for him, no matter who you are against. Against Cádiz, against Levante, against Barcelona… the same. That’s his mentality,” he said.
“I CAN’T UNDERSTAND YOUR MESSAGE”
“That’s why he will be frustrated as a manager in England because he can’t get his message across to some players. It was very emotional…”, Trippier recalled, explaining that “he doesn’t speak English fluently, so the way he speaks, where he wants to convey the message to the whole world, he can’t do it. just like He does in Spanish. And as a player, you feel that emotion. Even in training, you know what he wants. And even though I can’t speak Spanish, because of his body language, little arm movements, gestures… He was very good and it was a great learning for me.”.
