I want to be more annoying - Simeone ahead of Europa League final v Marseille

Thursday, May 10 2018 by 7MTV
  • SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Diego Simeone, Atletico de Madrid coach:

    "This hasn't been an easy season, as you know. After being kicked out of Champions League the team reinvented themselves and put all their responsibility and drive into the Europa League, where we competed very well until today. We got here and now words don't matter any more, only facts matter. We're facing a good rival, they play very well, their coach has always worked hard with the teams he has coached. The final will probably be very equal."

    SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Diego Simeone, Atletico de Madrid coach:

    (on the season)

    "When I got here 6 years ago I said: I want to turn this team into an annoying team. I definitely stick to that, I'm 1000 times more convinced now. I want to be more annoying. More."

    SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Diego Simeone, Atletico de Madrid coach:

    (asked if the rest of the players might feel undermined by Griezmann′s prominence)

    "This is like family: there's always one in the family who′s upset. What about it? It can be the aunt, the grandmother upset with the cousin, whoever... But then comes New Year′s Eve and we all sit together and eat. And at midnight we will probably cry and hug each other, all together."
