Diego Simeone Reluctant to Respond to Juergen Klopp's Criticism
10/20/2021, 08:33 MADRID -- Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone responded coldly to criticism from Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp about Simeone's playing style. Previously, Klopp said he was not a fan of Simeone's style of play.
Klopp's statement was delivered in a press conference ahead of the third match in the Champions League BL League group stage between Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, Wednesday (20/10) early morning WIB.
Simeone declined to comment on Klopp's statement. He even praised the quality of the Reds and their rivals in the English Premier League. According to him, Liverpool with Chelsea and Manchester City are enjoying an extraordinary moment.
"It's good to see the three of them playing," said Simeone quoted from Tribalfootball , Tuesday (19/10).
Liverpool is considered to have worked very well. The Reds are dangerous if they are pressing the opponent because the pressure is very high. In addition, Liverpool have strength on the counter-attack and take advantage of empty spaces.
The Argentine coach added that the return of Virgil van Dijk meant Liverpool's defense would return to a high level. Simeone hopes his squad can continue to distract the Reds throughout the game.
"To compete against Liverpool, it's clear that you have to balance the intensity and then look for our options in the game," Simeone explained.
Group B is a hell of a group because it is inhabited by big European teams. Besides Atletico and Liverpool, this group is also filled by AC Milan and FC Porto. Liverpool are currently at the top of the table with six points, followed by Atletico in second with four points.
While Porto trailed in third position by packing one point. AC Milan have to accept the fact without getting a single point so that it is in the order distended.
