Head coach of Madrid’s Atlético Diego Simeone is confident that his team is ready to compete for victory in the Spanish championship against «Real» and «Barcelona».
Let’s recall that yesterday the « mattress makers» defeated «Barcelona» away for the first time in 18 years and took the lead in the La Liga table.
— I am happy, but we had to work hard. «Barca» played very well, they attacked all the time. Today we had a great night in defense, especially from our goalkeeper Oblak. This allowed us to survive. Fight for the title? My players are ready. The strongest thing we have is a united group of footballers. We need everyone to be ready. This is our way of fighting against two monsters — «Real» and «Barcelona», — quotes the coach Footbal Espana.
It should be added that «Atlético» is ahead of «Barcelona» by three points in the table and will remain the leader of La Liga even if «Real» wins against «Sevilla» today.
