Simeone: "We Have Weaknesses. I Just Hope We Don't Show Them"



On UEFA.com, Atlético de Madrid manager, Pablo Simeone spoke about this Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid. The Argentine felt that the game was "the fruit of all the hard work done over the last three years."
The manager assured that his team still have their feet firmly planted on the ground despite their success. "In the Europa League we did very well a year and a half ago, and today we still have the same humility", he reminded. Moreover, the manager pointed out that the important thing "will be to reinforce our strong points and hide our weak ones, becuase we do have weaknesses. I just hope that we don't show them. From the forwards to the goalkeeper, they are clear on what is needed for the team."
Two different clubs: "The idiosyncrasies of the two clubs couldn't be more different, maybe also from a social perspective. Each team uses the tools that it has at hand and there is great rivalry."
Which Real is he expecting? "They have played with three in midfield together with three forwards and recently they have gone for a 4-4-2 system that has worked well. With the calibre of players that they have, they'll be dangerous whatever system they choose."
