Good start to the personal season

The biggest improvement

About the Calderon Stadium

"The first time I went there was when I was 8 years old When I was watching them training, I was just as excited as they were. Seeing them so close... I felt that I was very far away from playing football. I had been a ball boy in several games and saw the rhythm of the game. It made me feel crazy. I was like, 'Imagine what it's like to play there.' Love me. I know very well what my father wants and what he demands from his players, and I know that any player who wants to stay has to give more than 100%. "

Will you talk about football at home?

"It's inevitable and we have a family WhatsApp group where we discuss it. "

Prove yourself

"Every season that passes, I focus more on my mind and body and focus on continuing to improve Becoming a better player and person in every aspect. Keep growing until I'm at my best. I've never read any reports about playing football because I'm the son of a coach. It's often said. At first you think about it, but then it's so repetitive... If I play football, it's because I love it and I give it my all. I don't know if I silence the doubters, I do. Try to block outside opinions and focus on daily training to improve yourself. "

Areas that need improvement

"Technically, shooting, finishing... many aspects of the game need to be improved. "

will look at their own performance. Is there a video of the game?

"Watch all the games, but not with my dad. It's a way of learning. I go home and say, 'I played great today,' and then watch the replays on TV... "

Renewal

"I'm happy to stay at Atletico, hopefully for many years. I hope to have a career like Koke's. "

What it means to play for Atletico

"For me, playing for Atletico is a dream. I watched it when I lived in Argentina Every game they play, and now experiencing everything that happens in Atletico Madrid, is a dream. "

About Llorente

"His physical condition is amazing, he eats healthily and is very disciplined... "

Being fathered. When he scolds me like he would any player, you open your eyes and listen carefully, and when he gives me instructions, I forget that he is my father. I am fully involved in my growth work plan. He scolds me because he wants to correct me, like Correcting any player is the same. "

Simone

"As a coach, he is a very demanding coach who can bring out the maximum potential of the players and does his best for the players in every detail. That kind of demand is indescribable. "

Simone as a father

"Just like in any family, the father takes care of his children and does everything he can to help them move forward in life. He is a very good father. "

What is Simeone like at home?

"I haven't lived with him in a long time. But when I lived with him, for some reason, he would always have an iPad and watch some videos. And then he would start making formations with cups and cutlery and orange juice. Like, eight o'clock in the morning, we were having breakfast... (laughing) "

Playing with your idols

"Since I came to the team, they have always embraced me in the best way. From the time I entered They never treated me differently because of whose son I was, but treated me as part of the team. I have a special relationship with Griezmann, Koke and my Argentinian teammates. We are in a very good period now, with a great team. We started the season not as expected and we have a new player who needs to adapt. The coach, plus the new Sports City, the prospects look good. "

My best friend in the team

"I have the best relationship with Alvarez. "

Playing with Alvarez

"He is so humble, with his age and everything he has won, but he is the first to work twice as hard for me. "

For Alvarez. The impact of the transfer to Sri Lanka

"During the time he decided to transfer, we met at the South American Olympic qualifiers. My father sent me a message asking how Alvarez was doing and if he wanted to come. I told him: 'It feels very good at Atletico Madrid, you will score a lot of goals. 'This is his own decision, he is a great signing. I see him very happy in Madrid, at Atletico Madrid. He has achieved important goal statistics. I hope he can stay for many years.. "

Argentina National Team

"I was surprised when I was called up. When I was called up, I had started very few games, and when I came into this team that was a world champion and a Copa America winner, there were high-level players and a good team. There is the best Messi of all time and you look at him and watch what he does and try to learn. It was a privilege to share playing time with him. "

Would you rather shoot or pass

"Pass the ball, because that will make two people happy. I've had a lot of situations where I could have made that last pass, but I hadn't done it before. "

The toughest opponent

"Achraf bothers me a lot. He is as fast as an airplane and dribbles the ball very fast. "

Playing on the wing

"My grandfather once told me that if I played as a winger, I would be able to join the national team in the future. "

Simoney was better as a player or as a coach

"Comparatively speaking, Simeone was better as a player (laughing). "

Simone coaches the national team

"It's possible, but he will do the same thing (referring to strict requirements). I don't know if there is a precedent for coaching the club and the national team at the same time. "

Who will stay at Atletico Madrid longer: you or my father?

"I hope it will be me, I am younger, and he still has something to do (suggesting that his father may want to coach the national team). "

New Champions League Competition System

"The new competition system makes it more competitive than the group stage. It is possible for any team to play in different stadiums, which forces you to score points away from home. "

Winning a derby

"Playing a derby is always great and gives you that extra boost. The fans want to win and that result was fantastic and we were able to show ourselves. We made it impossible for Real Madrid to use their weapons. "

Griezmann and

"They are the benchmark for the club and for me and the team. They help us achieve the goals we want. They know when they need to press harder and when they need to be calmer. Seeing Koke, the most capped player in the history of the club, how he trains, maintains the same humility and continues to help his teammates, it makes you grow. Griezmann has scored so many goals that he deserves to be listened to. "

Champions League champion or World Cup champion

"You want both, Argentina has already won the World Cup. "

Future coach

"Now I would say unimaginable, but why not. "
