Simeone’s aspect didn’t register a single shot on objective as they misplaced 1-0 to Metropolis on the Etihad Stadium in a defensive efficiency described by his counterpart Pep Guardiola as prehistoric. 

Nevertheless, Simeone didn’t take the bait forward of Wednesday’s second leg on the Wanda Metropolitano, as a substitute referencing an previous phrase his dad used to say and calling for “respect.”

“When somebody doesn’t admire a colleague, I don’t share that. Others’ opinions: press, ex-players, individuals who haven’t been within the recreation a very long time have opinions and speak…  

“I’ll say what my dad at all times mentioned: ‘The mouth kills the fish’ (por la boca muere el pez). Phrases are free and we are able to all specific an opinion, [but] there are methods of performing amongst colleagues and I’ve one: respect others at all times, at all times, at all times.”

The defeat to Metropolis ended a run of six wins in a row for Atletico and was adopted by one other loss on the weekend as they went down 1-0 to relegation-threatened Mallorca. 

Regardless of the controversy Atletico’s type has generated, Simeone says his group’s method is not going to change a lot towards Metropolis, though he hopes they are often more practical in assault. 

“I’m not going to get distant from what we imagine in,” the Argentine added. “I imagine there are other ways of taking part in to get what you need, [but] hopefully we are able to mix higher, have higher, sooner transitions, be extra exact with our counterattacks [and] our most vital gamers can have a unbelievable evening. 

“We are going to attempt to take the sport to the place we predict we are able to harm them. From there it is going to be about moments. Something can occur.”
