"The public is very important, because it can help the players generate emotional moments in the Champions League. The atmosphere is not just another detail. I don't know how to explain it, but it is key," he added.
"I think he's a great player, and I think he feels different when the pressure is higher. In the bigger moments, I think he feels more motivation or just something different. We know he's always ready for the special moments."
Simeone's statement: "I think that due to the characteristics of Manchester United's players and ours, I imagine a dynamic match, with alternating moments, with low pressure from us and also high pressure... We will have the counterattack to take advantage of any mistake they may have. We will see a match in a fantastic stadium, this stadium has been filled with historic matches".
These were the words of the DT: "Atlético doesn't mind the rival having the ball, they have had less than 50% possession in their last league games, we are aware of that, it would be important to score the first goal and it is very important not to concede first. We want to try not to concede anything if possible, but it will be important to get ahead on the scoreboard".
The colchoneros in their last two visits to England, against Chelsea last season and this season against Liverpool, it should be noted that in both games Cholo's team failed to score a goal.
