On October 22, Beijing time on Thursday morning in the third round of the Champions League stage, Atletico will sit at home against Lille。In the press conference before the game, the Sheet Army coach Simeone talked about the team's preparation, but also answered some of the fans and media are very concerned about the question。

About getting it in La Liga1000 points

I always had confidence in what I was doing and that it would turn out well。I've been fortunate to have the coaching staff around me, including the guys who are no longer here。Also, I'm lucky to have players who give everything on the pitch。

About playing against Lille

Lille are playing well and they are showing competition in their own league。Lille beat Real Madrid and their manager made them play beautiful and brave football and I can't imagine another team doing that。

About the upcoming Spanish national Derby

We pay more attention to Real Madrid's away games than their home games, we are clear about that。We are more focused on their away games。

On the roadLost 4-0 to Benfica

When the team is not playing well and making mistakes as a whole, you are in huge trouble。

About whether Courtois provoked Atletico fans

I definitely don't believe Courtois provoked Atletico fans, he deserves to be where he is。Courtois is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, we can disagree and have opinions, but I am grateful for what he has done and given us at Atletico。We won La Liga, reached the Champions League final and he was very important in that process。

About Alvarez

Alvarez is getting better and better, he is adapting to the city, the team and the whole team and he has started to show his difference。He can do different things wherever he plays, I have no doubt about that。

About Griezmann's retirement from the national team

Griezmann has given all his talents to the French national team, giving great games and different qualities of himself, and he has won many titles。He has worked hard to develop a style of play that continues to improve, and he always gives everything for the national team until the day he retires as a different player。

Griezmann has been a very good player with us and a very important member of our team。He will no longer play games that always put a lot of load on his legs and we hope to continue to enjoy the potential he can contribute。
