Statement by Simeone (Atlético de Madrid coach)
Before traveling to Vigo, the Argentine coach pointed out the strengths of the rival team: "It seems to me that in transition they are a team that does very well. Very fast offensively, with Aspas in the construction and associative and support game, where he is one of the best playing with his back turned and watching people run. And when they have worked down low, they have defended very well and I can imagine that kind of game.
He even had words of praise for Celta and their coach, Rafa Benítez: "We are playing against a team that has taken fewer points than they deserve for their work. They have a coach with a lot of hierarchy, with history in world soccer, he knows how to compete".
Statement by Rafa Benítez (coach of Celta de Vigo)
Celta Vigo's coach analyzed Atlético de Madrid before facing them and explained the idea to try to beat them: "Atlético is another type of rival, also very strong but with other characteristics. We have to try to have the mentality to compete with anyone and above all to be attentive to those mistakes that penalize us. We have to be more effective in front of goal and defend better".
Regarding Aidoo's injury, who had to undergo surgery, he pointed out that "it is unfortunate, the problem of players who go with their national teams and come back injured is constant for years and very difficult to avoid if they keep playing matches and matches".
❝Tenemos que tener la mentalidad de competir con cualquiera, especialmente con un equipo grande❞.
