On Sunday the Argentine attacker Ángel Correa and the Croatian side Sime Vrsaljko they tested positive for coronavirus, causing fear more infected, although finally there were no more infected and Atlético was able to travel. “We were left with two very important men from the heart in the team, hopefully we can have them in the walk if we continue in the competition”, said this Wednesday the technician of the ‘colchoneros’, Diego Simeone.

“We are going to give our lives to win the title and hopefully this year we play and give joy to the people, who deserve it more than us”, the forward warned Diego Costa, one of the survivors of the 2014 final lost at the Lisbon Stadium of Light. The Hispanic-Brazilian aims to be the bet of Simeone to lead the colchonero attack, supported by Marcos Llorente, converted from midfielder to attacker.

The rojiblanco team, which eliminated the Liverpool, Reigning European champion, in the round of 16 before the football break due to the pandemic, has returned from confinement in good form with seven wins and four draws in the last eleven league dates. Atlético came back in those last eleven days from sixth to third in the league, to fulfill their goal of being in the Champions next year, and now he’s looking for an ‘Orejona’ that will brighten his season.

No one hid the relief that the draw paired Atlético with one of the theoretical weaker teams in the quarterfinals, which is looking to surprise in its third year in the top club competition. Despite this, the rojiblancos do not trust a team that finished first in their group ahead of Olympique Lyon and eliminated Tottenham, finalist last year, in the round of 16.

“Tomorrow we are going to play a very important game against a team that plays very well, with a young coach who is doing a fantastic job, it’s a great team,” Simeone warned. And to a single game, “you have to understand that it is not important to win, but that it is the only thing there is”, pointed out the ‘Cholo’.
