Maradona and Messi played in different times and in different positions. Messi is much more a striker, Diego was all over the entire pitch. They are two extraordinary players.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
At some point, I would like to coach Argentina, but I have to improve as a coach. I would like to do it in the final stretch of my career.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Diego Costa always gives us physical and moral strength. He is a very important player for the character he transmits to the team, and his potential as a football player.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
The hardest thing in life is reinventing yourself and staying at the top of your game, whilst the hardest thing in football is finding that club you want to stay at.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Football is wonderful because everyone can have an opinion and make judgements about what they think and see.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Like I've always said, in football the most important thing is the quality of minutes not the quantity.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Artificial pitches are just one more condition for us, like sun, wind or snow; we should be able to deal with such conditions.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
When we were children we played on the street - on tarmac and things like that.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
VAR exposes everything. Before we didn't have the possibility of seeing some things that we now see. The referees are people who can be wrong as well.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
In fact, a coach is primarily a trainer, not only in tactics but also in emotional matters.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
My role is to take the player to his limits, to provoke him, to annoy him against me, because in this nervousness is the will to improve.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
I demand a lot and we look to improve, but I'm glad that Atleti are expected to be among the best every year.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
I don't drive a truck, I drive a team of footballers who work for a major club like Atleti.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
He who brings a style to a club that can't carry it out, he is not a good manager, because he is attacking the club that hires him.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
What I'm trying to say is that within the styles, first, there's something clear: the style is given by the players on the roster.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
It's like Barcelona who have Messi. He decides games with his attacking play; Oblak resolves them with his saves.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
I went a week to see Mourinho at training, and another week with Guardiola. I learned from the two, I took important things from both.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Psychology is important but motivation is something that if you don't have it inside then you can't provide it.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
The teams that defend well are as important as those that attack well. If you don't concede goals it is much easier to win but it is all about having balance.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Whether you like Mourinho's style or not is open to discussion but he has won in different places and this has a lot of merit.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
When there are changes there will always be people who like it and people who don't.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Ajax have a set model, a defined youth programme - Barcelona have one too, and Juventus. And Atletico Madrid do too. Real Madrid don't - because they alternate developing their own players with signing talent.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
From the first moment you accept to join a club, the best thing you can do and the most respectful thing to do is ask yourself: 'What is the history behind this club?'
Quote by -Diego Simeone
When coaches arrive at a club, we need to understand its history. If we don't understand it, then we are destined to have a bad time.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
If I had to chose between Messi and Ronaldo, then most likely I would choose Messi.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
With any possibly erroneous decision, you can always look back and think you could've done something differently - but always with the benefit of hindsight.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
Talent has to be accompanied by effort as well, and that's shared around when you work as a team.
Quote by -Diego Simeone
The game's my life and I'm so passionate about it. When you see your life so intertwined with football it can make things very difficult. You might go and watch a film and start imagining footballers running across the screen, you know?
