On October 2, Simeone talked about the team’s preparation for the upcoming match against Benfica in the pre-match press conference for the Champions League. He expressed his appreciation for the club’s statement after the derby and stated that Benfica is a team with character.
About the opponent, Benfica
“We have very little time to prepare for the game, the team is still in the recovery stage, but the Champions League is different. It demands effort for the kind of game we want. We will try our best to compete as we did before and bring the game to a rhythm we are familiar with. We believe the team can defeat the opponent.”
About the Madrid Derby last week
“I am very calm because I am a very clear and straightforward person, I like to express my feelings. I would not change any of my statements from the other day. As a club, we had a great opportunity to become stronger and show what needs to be done outwardly, which is what I said after the game. Then I gave an opinion, which was distorted, but that is not the case. This is my issue, and the club’s statement was perfect.”
