Diego Simeone’s counter
Comments that did not please Ancelotti: “These are things that are said to provoke a reaction. » Nor to Dani Ceballos, a bit more direct: “He hasn’t recovered from the two finals he lost against us. »
Simeone, a fan of the counter-attack, spoke out at a press conference at the start of the week, recalling that the two Madrilenians thought exactly the same thing when they were not at Real Madrid. “I’m referring to memory. When we go back and remember that match against Bayern (a C1 quarter-final in 2017 when Ancelotti was coach of the Bavarians, Editor’s note), Ancelotti’s statements were the consequence of what happened on the pitch, not for show. And Ceballos too: he made the same statement when he was at Betis. They’re doing very well, they’re a great team… but when they were on another team, they thought something else. »
