Simeone: "Champions and Copa? My focus is on Oviedo" | OneFootball

Simeone analyzed the match against Oviedo, in Atlético de Madrid's league visit to the Carlos Tartiere.

ASSESSMENT OF TOTTENHAM

"A tough opponent, important in world football, and we’ll talk more when the time comes."

GRIEZMANN, POSSIBLE FAREWELL

"I understand your question, I was already quite clear the other day, I’m focused on tomorrow’s match and on how important Antoine is for us."

ATLÉTICO'S ACHIEVEMENTS ARE UNDERRATED

"No, no, they are highly valued."

LOOKMAN'S FORM

"He arrived with a lot of excitement and desire to keep growing, we need him to give us defensive work in addition to what he brings offensively because he has it, he’s done it with his national team and we need him to feel the Atlético shirt the way he feels Nigeria’s. That way, he’s a very important player and we need him like that."

DO YOU SEE GRIEZMANN LEAVING ATLETI?

"I’m not going to talk about something when we don’t know what will happen, nor repeat how important Antoine is for us."

HOW DO YOU FOCUS ON OVIEDO?

"By focusing on each match, the opponent has improved in their last eight games and it will be tough, like every match in LaLiga."

HAVE YOU TOLD GRIEZMANN TO STAY?

"I’ll repeat it, we’re talking with Antoine and there’s no need to put pressure on him or say too much. Antoine already knows how important he is for us and we’re focused on the exciting things ahead: Oviedo, Barcelona, Real, Tottenham… there’s no room."

FUTURE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

"I’m not thinking about the Champions League right now, only about Oviedo."

PARITY IN EUROPE

"I repeat the same, I’m focused on Oviedo and there will be time to talk about Tottenham."
