  • Intro:

    Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone talks about reported interest in Alessio Cerci ahead of his side's La Liga match against Malaga.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach:

    "I take the newspapers, just like you do, and I see Manchester, Arsenal, Inter, they all want (Alessio) Cerci. Bearing in mind that his current coach, me, hasn't still given him the chance to play, it means Atletico Madrid is an amazing team. We sold (Martin) Demichelis in a pre-season after he didn't play and now Cerci is being followed by three extraordinary teams also when he's not playing. What a great team Atletico Madrid is.

    (asked how hard it is to prepare for a game when most of the players were with their national teams).

    "We are getting used to it and I hope it will be like this for a long time because it means the guys have grown up. The 16 players that are playing outside are actually there because of the work they have done with us and working well at Atletico Madrid will give them the chance to play with their national teams for much longer."

    (on Malaga).

    "They have been doing well for a while now. You guys, and us actually, are usually focused on the results and Malaga stopped Barcelona after Barcelona were winning many matches in a row, they had a draw at home with a great game. They are a rebel team, very offensive, and their players have lots of technical quality."
