Simeone: "We must be strong and committed"
The Argentine warns: "Betis are very dynamic with great explosion, it will be a tough match"
Atletico Madrid travel to Sevilla with a 2-0 lead from the first leg against Betis, but Diego Pablo Simeone knows that these knockout ties can change very quickly if a team doesn’t play at the usual level, "We must be a strong and committed, from there possibly may appear.”
"The fans of Betis are always with their team and we know it will be a tough match. It will be a difficult game against an opponent who play very well, they are very dynamic with great explosion, it will be a tough match. We are more than aware of that," said the Argentine.
The Atletico Madrid coach wants his team to keep playing the same line: "We do not change the way we play. We always try to do the same or at least that's what we try, to follow the same line regardless of the result. It is very difficult to start in a game as over 90 minutes and be attentive to what happened in the first leg. You have to focus on minute one. The game is very long and we have to think about solving it as the game is happening.”
Simeone spoke of the absence of Falcao: "Radamel is a very important part in our system, but we have to Adrian, Raul and Costa and they can all play in his position and do well there. Hopefully tomorrow the team can show that we can perform the same despite Falcao not being in the team".
