On Tuesday two Real Madrid players Vinicius Junior and Endrick Felipe were on the media attention as they referee opted not to issues red card to both of them.
Diego Simeone didn’t want to interfere with Real Madrid’s matter and he also didn’t want to know why they are given two days rest compare to his club.
He said “[We] Manage recovery days as best we can. You saw that Koke did not train the final part today, because you see everything.
“We did it to take some of the training load off him, and compensate. As we have managed it almost always.
“We have not changed much, looking based on the loads they have, so that the training sessions are based on those loads so that they arrive at the game in the best possible way.”
Diego Simeone begged his two new signing to come to the party and encouraged them to not mind about what people are saying about them.
He said “We are focused on generating greater scoring situations. I have no doubt that with time and the relationships that still need to be generated, which are not yet fully formed, they will perform better.
“It is our job to make them feel better and theirs to transmit to us those relationships that are generated in football.”
After being asked about his back-line, Simone revealed that they use their formation according to the players chemistry.
He said “We have varied a lot. We are always looking for what we believe can have better chemistry.
“Some games are not the same as others, sometimes things change along the way and luckily we have a group of guys who adapt very well to these changes.
“It happened with Leipzig, it happened with Rayo and we improved by changing the system.”
“It depends on the stimulus, the commitment, the enthusiasm… You can play with four forwards and not concede an attack and play with eight at the back and receive many shots.
“It is closely associated with commitment,” Simeone said pointedly, after his players slumped to a disappointing 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.
Simeone was asked about his ambitious with the club and he highlighted that they always surprise many people the same way they have did when they won La Liga back in 2020/2021.
Diego Simeone together with his troops have a mid-week have a tough fixture on Thursday night to challenge an in-form Celta Vigo at Balaidos Stadium.
