Ahead of the Champions League match against Roma, Diego Simeone spoke to AS:

“I try not to mix the situations…I’m proud of what I did in Lazio, I have a great memory of that period. I have a lot of respect for Roma.”

He then spoke about his future at Atletico: “At Calderon I told the fans I still believe in the future of this club. Atletico grows, has young people who will grow. In January we can improve the team and there will be a new stadium … Many things that bring me energy. “
