Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone has shared his thoughts ahead of their La Liga showdown with Real Betis tomorrow, describing Manuel Pellegrini’s men as brave, dynamic, and defensively solid, Softfootball reports.
Speaking to the media, the Argentine tactician assessed Betis’ recent form and emphasized the need for focus as Atlético aim to bounce back from their 4-0 UEFA Champions League defeat to Arsenal earlier this week, a result that left fans demanding a strong response from the team.
According to Atlético Madrid who shared an excerpt from the manager’s press conference via their official X handle, Simeone said:
El Betis has a brave attack, dynamic players in the final stretch of the game, and is defending well.
SoftFootball understands that Atlético also shared the full press conference on their official YouTube channel, giving fans an inside look at Simeone’s pre-match thoughts, tactical insights, and reflections on the team’s current form.
A victory against Betis would provide a timely morale boost for Los Rojiblancos, as they look to regain momentum in La Liga and reassert themselves among the title contenders under Simeone’s guidance.
Additionally, Atlético will have a golden opportunity to close the gap on league leaders Real Madrid and Barcelona, who face each other in this weekend’s El Clásic, meaning one of the two Spanish giants is guaranteed to drop points.
