Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone responded to Pep Guardiola’s comments from Manchester City after the first meeting between the two last week.
After that match, which saw Atletico Madrid play in a very defensive manner, Guardiola said:
“They went 5-5-0. Two lines of five. And in prehistoric times, today and after a hundred thousand years, it was very difficult to attack 5-5,” She said From this defensive approach. “It is nowhere. Aside from the fact that they are very competitive and defend well, there is no place.”
Now, Simeone responded to his comments on Tuesday, saying, “I’ve been training since 2005 or 2006 until today and have never despised a colleague. I always put myself in his shoes and realize there are different ways of expressing how he feels and lives it.”
When one despises a fellow, I don’t share it. Later, journalists and former players, for someone who has not played for a long time and wants to say something different … The fish dies through the mouth, as my father used to say. We can all have an opinion, but between colleagues we all have ways, and I always, always, respect my colleagues.”

Atletico Madrid – Manchester City
Although Simeone took a very defensive style in the first leg, he can’t do that this week.
This, of course, because Manchester City won the first match over Al Ittihad 1-0.
City dominated that game, taking 71 percent, eventually breaking the deadlock in the 70th minute via Kevin De Bruyne.
