Simeone: "Oblak misses Getafe trip, Giuliano included" | OneFootball

HOW ARE OBLAK AND GIULIANO?

«Initially, Oblak will not participate tomorrow. Giuliano will be called up and we will see how his progress continues. For tomorrow, we will decide if he starts or waits».

ALERT AFTER LAST YEAR'S MATCH

«We do not dwell on last season's match. We look at Getafe's current form and ours. Getafe continues to evolve year after year, in the competition of all the matches they play, and they are adding offensive elements they didn't have in previous years. This means we will face a tough, difficult, and competitive opponent».

KOKE, 700 MATCHES AS AN ATLÉTICO

«We have spoken about Koke many times, and we continue to add words of gratitude for his work and dedication to the club. He still gives us important things for the team's present. I don't consider if there is any youngster who can reach that, because it would be imagining».

READY AFTER THE BREAK?

«Tomorrow we will try to compete in the way the match demands. We understand that except for Oblak and Giuliano, although today he was quite well, we will go match by match. Looking for the best for each game».

HOW IS CARDOSO?

«He had an injury that kept him from competing and securing a place for quite some time. Last week he was training well, but then he had a fever that kept him away from training. Today he returned with intensity, a good job, and we need everyone. Many matches are coming, and all are very important».

EVALUATION OF APOLLO'S PURCHASE

«Absolute growth for Atlético, an enormous joy to have been able to participate in this growth, with a lot of people who made the growth possible. But this must not stop, it will demand more from us, and we have to take on the responsibilities and continue, like the club, growing».

TIGHT SCHEDULE

«We try to talk to the players, although I always repeat it, it is very difficult to convince a player that he is fine but another teammate plays. There is the normal selfishness that appears when it's not your turn to start, but the responsibility that we need everyone to compete as a team. And to compete as a team, we need to be strong from the outside in, competing among themselves, putting the players who are in the best form, and not looking at anyone by name, but by how they are».

WORDS TOWARDS BORDALÁS

«I have a respectable admiration for Bordalás. Surely, all the work he has done over the years has managed to generate a commitment and a style of play. We all know the match we are going to face with Getafe and the continuous evolution it has. It is a Getafe that continues to evolve and depends on its coach».
