Simeone on Julián, Sorloth, Giuliano, rotations, youth players ...

Atlético de Madrid

Rotations

"The state of the players is what demands it, the boys who finished up with some discomfort. We need fresh people who can compete. Even if there were no match on Tuesday, we wouldn’t have Julián for this Saturday, nor Sorloth, nor Giuliano, nor Giménez... It’s clear that we will go with those who are better."

Almada

"He is important for us, today we talked after training about his qualities, his work during the season with us, and the important thing is that in five minutes, ten or 60, he can demonstrate tomorrow the hierarchy he has."

Heads in Arsenal?

"Thinking about tomorrow’s match, about catching up with Villarreal and playing an important game against a Valencia with the pressure of their fans and the intensity they have since their coach arrived. I can't imagine any other match than that."

Expectation with the changes

"For them to show the reason why they are at Atlético de Madrid. If the boys who have been helping us play, it is one more step to prove why they are close to the first team. There are a lot of positive things to see."

Feelings

"I feel at peace, I know that I am giving my all and so are the players. That’s what I need, to see that energy that goes hand in hand with what we have been working on these 14 years. It is very difficult to reach where we are. Hopefully, we can carry it forward until the end."
