Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone has come out to say that he has zero plans for surprises with his tactics vs Liverpool in the UCL.
Diego Simeone revealed that a surprise will not be a trick in his book against Jurgen Klopp’s team but he is still confident that his tried and tested methods can seal qualification for his club.
According to him, Liverpool already knows what to expect from Atletico so his boys just need to start well and maintain the momentum from the first leg.
He added that the UCL game will demand top football from every player on the pitch since they all know what is at stake.
His words, “Whether we can vary how we play, Liverpool will know pretty clearly how we are going to play,”
“They know pretty much what our tactics are going to be going into the game after being here for eight years. If we start well, we have to keep it up.
“You know pretty much what I’ll be doing, I don’t think our line-up will be too far off what you think it will be.
“The game will demand that we are on our top form. We will see what sort of game we play and tactics we adopt. We think we can hurt them.
“There is a Plan B, of course. But if I tell you my plans for a game, it wouldn’t be logical, would it?”
On losing at this round vs Juventus in the paat, “We couldn’t play in Turin, they never let us compete,”
“Hopefully [on Wednesday] they will let us compete and that will help us be competitive.
“Experiences in life always help you. But you have to make sure you don’t repeat errors you have done before.”
