Atlético Madrid Statements
Diego Simeone spoke before the match that will define the next qualifier for the quarterfinals: "We have just played a good match and generated chances, which is what we have to do. With tranquility and confidence the goals will come. Tomorrow we will face an opponent that has been doing extraordinarily well since their coach arrived and is in an ideal position to return to the First Division. They are a good opponent and a good stadium and that's why we must take the match to where we can hurt them."
"I see them with enthusiasm, they have a great illusion with reversing this situation that we have already told that until the break for the World Cup was being a regular to bad season, but then since the return we are having a good performance. We hope to continue on this path.
"These are situations that need to be improved and we are dealing with them and talking about how to improve them."
"Yes, we are prepared for anything that can happen. We have very good players and in the market people are always coming in and out, so we are prepared because we understand the game we are in."
"I still think the same, I didn't see that play and not seeing it I can't give much of an opinion."
"Not to me personally, none."
"Yes, he's going to play tomorrow".
"I think that since we came back from the World Cup the team is playing better and is in continuous growth even if we could not win against Barcelona and were not convincing against Almería, but I am looking for the positive things and I see the team better and hopefully we can find the necessary forcefulness to accompany what is needed in soccer, which is to win and score goals".

If we go through it will be a great joy. If we don't, it won't be a drama. We have to keep focused on the objective of promotion without obsessing about results, but rather on the process".
"I've been rotating, but I've used players who are more regulars in the league. I want to mix it up. I will see to make a competitive match".
