Diego Pablo Simeone spoke to the media at the Emirates in the run-up to the clash against Arsenal. The Argentine is playing to reach his third Champions League final.<\/p>\n

Calmer. <\/strong>“No matter how much we coaches think about it, football happens through the players. We can manage their emotions, experience and time give you more calm, not passivity, and the peace to face these games.”<\/p>\n

Repeat the second part.<\/strong> “If it’s that easy, I’ll tell them to repeat it.”<\/p>\n

“What I notice is that they always look for a title that comes out of the everyday before a semifinal<\/p>\n

Simeone<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Calm down and enjoy.<\/strong> “What I notice is that they are always looking for a title that comes out of the ordinary before a semifinal. And simply whoever plays the best and strengthens their weapons will be the one who is closest to winning.”<\/p>\n

Concern about arbitration. <\/strong>“No”.<\/p>\n

Meaning of the match.<\/strong> “We go back to the same thing, we have to play with the intensity that the game demands and that the hierarchy of the footballers comes out. We have a lot of faith, then surely it will not depend on us.”<\/p>\n

Clave.<\/strong> “Convinced of what we have to do, take it to the end.”<\/p>\n

Sorloth, Giuliano and Juli\u00e1n.<\/strong> “Yesterday they moved, today they will train and tomorrow we will decide.”<\/p>\n

Julian.<\/strong> “What these types of important games are. He knows the English League well and we hope he can play a great game.”<\/p>\n

“We are now better than in October and now the hotel is cheaper.”<\/p>\n

Simeone<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Superstition of changing the hotel after 4-0 and the state of the team.<\/strong> “We are now better than in October and now the hotel is cheaper.”<\/p>\n

Sorloth.<\/strong> “We need it whether it’s 5, 10 or 90 minutes.”<\/p>\n

Plan.<\/strong> “Work, we have a clear idea and that we can play a great game.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
