Atletico Madrid newcomer Gabriel Paulista spoke to journalists on the eve of the derby with Real Madrid in the 23rd round of the Spanish league.
Габріел Пауліста, Getty Images"Everything happened very quickly. Last Sunday I played against Atletico, and now I am a player of this club. I am ready for the challenges. The atmosphere in the dressing room is incredible. I was surprised by many things - it's a very warm and family-like team.
We didn't talk much with Coach Simeone before because we just didn't have enough time for that. But if I do play in the derby on Sunday, it will be fantastic. I'm ready for it both physically and mentally.
Griezmann: He's one of the best players in the world. Finally, I will not suffer from him on the pitch. Now I want to play with him in the same team. He is a very intelligent player, he can play well with the ball, he can finish, he has a good pass. In the dressing room, in the short time I've been here, he seems like a child: he's always joking with his teammates, it makes me a little more relaxed," Paulista was quoted as saying by AS.
