The head coach of Madrid's Atlético team, Diego Simeone, shared his thoughts on his tactics. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The Argentine specialist has been known for a defense-based style of play for many years. Although in recent years he has tried to diversify his football, the label of "defensive coach" still sticks to him.
Simeone said in an interview with El Partidazo de COPE: "Do I consider myself only a defensive coach? No, I am a simple coach.
Debates about attack or defense are very boring. You can hold the ball for 80 minutes and create only three chances.
Is that attack or defense? Real and Barcelona play differently, but both win."
Diego Simeone has been managing Atlético since the end of 2011. According to his experience and tactics, the team always strives to play with a solid defense against opponents.
At the same time, he is trying to develop his team's attacking play as well. Under Simeone's leadership, Atlético has achieved many successes and holds an important place in Spanish football.
