On August 25, Atletico Madrid will face Girona in the second round of La Liga. In a pre-match interview, Girona manager Michel talked about Simeone and Atletico Madrid.
On Simeone
Michel: “Simeone has turned Atletico Madrid into one of the best teams in the world, they play in the Champions League almost every year, and they have won La Liga. For over a decade, Simeone has kept Atletico Madrid at a very high level.”
On Atletico Madrid’s summer signings
Michel: “Atletico Madrid has signed many players this year, they are all very good, I think they are a candidate to win La Liga.”
On facing Atletico Madrid next round
Michel: “Without a doubt, this is a difficult and complex game, but we will go into it with passion and determination.”
It is worth mentioning that Girona manager Michel has only won once (1 win, 1 draw, 5 losses) against Atletico Madrid in the 7 La Liga matches he has coached. He seems to have a score to settle with Simeone.
