Diego Simeone admits Liverpool have no fear of leaving space for opponent as he praise Salah for incredible form.
Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone admits that their Champions League opponent Liverpool have no fear on leaving space for opponent.
He stated that the team press high, play high line and also have speed as he admits he expect a very difficult match.
“They have no fear to leave spaces at the back. They press high, play a high line, have speed.
“(Virgil) Van Dijk has improved solidity in defence, which is important even for an attacking team like Liverpool, and he brings security they didn’t have last year.
“I don’t expect anything other than a team who will make things very difficult for us.
He added that they need to match their class and look for a way to hurt them like they did last time they played.
“We need to match their intensity and then look for our own chances. We will try to find ways to hurt them.
“The last time we faced Liverpool, we won the game at home before we even entered the stadium. I want that to be remembered.”
He further praised Reds forward Mohamed Salah that has been in fine form for Liverpool lately.
“All I care about really is Liverpool but Mohamed Salah is an extraordinary player, who has been playing at a fantastic level for the last few years with Liverpool and his national team.”
