“In Naples as in Argentina. Everyone talks about Maradona”
“Being here at Napoli it's fantastic, here you can breathe history – says Simeone -. Everyone breathes football, those who stop me talk to me about Maradona, since I'm Argentine.
They are people like ours, we speak in a similar way and with the same gestures. It really feels like being at home."
Simeone remembered his debut in Champions against Liverpool: “A dream come true.
It's not easy knowing that you're not going to start, but I always prepare as if I were starting. You have to be ready for every moment you have, every minute.
And so it was."
“I study the secrets of goalkeepers. Scudetto? One game at a time”
The 'Cholito' then revealed some of his secrets: “I always study goalkeepers, it is important to know their behavior when they are shot by attackers. I try to learn their movements to know when and where to shoot.
Before each match I write down the names of the players and my ideas for beating the goalkeeper."
"The Scudetto?It will serve the group, every player.
It's the most important thing
– said the Argentine -. My father always tells me something that I try to keep in mind: 'partido a partido', that is, to think game by game. Every win, every three points counts."
“I also feel that we can compete with anyone in the Champions League – he concluded -. It's hard to know if you'll win or not, but we're ready.
The Champions League is really important and we want to be there in June too."
