Simeone on Madrid derby: We'll manage as best we can | OneFootball

El Cholo acknowledged that he still hasn’t decided on the lineup for this Sunday’s match at 5 PM at the Santiago Bernabéu. “There’s a huge sense of excitement and everyone wants to be there. We’ll try to manage things in the best possible way considering everything we have ahead of us,” he stated.

Diego Simeone previewed the Madrid derby between Real and Atlético, which will take place this Sunday at 5 PM, as part of the 19th round of La Liga in Spain. “I hope to be as sharp as possible to make the right choices”, Cholo said during the press conference he gave on Saturday morning.

The Colchonero’s head coach admitted he still hasn’t finalized the team and emphasized that “there’s a huge sense of excitement and everyone wants to be there”. He also added: “We’ll try to manage things in the best possible way considering everything we have ahead of us, always looking for what’s best for the team and the club”.

Regarding the opponent, Simeone was clear. “It’s a match that’s always played on an emotional level. We’ll try to take things to where we can do damage. They’re working very well and you can sense that there’s an idiosyncrasy similar to what the coach asks for. The results speak for themselves”, he said.

Cholo also spoke about Julián Álvarez’s great form and hinted that “like anyone, he has good moments and others not so much”. He went on to add: “I have no doubt that he identifies more with what’s happening to him now than with what happened to him recently”.
