Intro:
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone and Olympiakos head coach Michel preview Tuesday's Champions League Group A curtain-raiser.
Script:
SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach:
"I always look at reality and what I have in front of me in that moment. We keep on building the team, because, as you all know, new players have arrived, some others have left. The players that have arrived have some specific characteristics that we are trying to fit into the existing philosophy of the team and to build around the core, that we have not changed -- the philosophy of our team and always the way we play our games, in the last few years. We are thus trying to tie in new characteristics to the already existing ones and this is, I think, the strong point of our team for how we keep building Atletico Madrid."
SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Michel, Olympiacos coach:
"Our situation is a bit like last year. There are a lot of similarities because last year Olympiakos had to incorporate a lot of new players into our team and teach them from scratch our style and the idea behind our game. We also had a lot of departures and arrivals in the last week. The situation is very similar to last year because then we had lost a lot of players and got a lot of new ones and there are many similarities this time around."
