It would be fantastic for him to win the trophy, he’s already done a fantastic job, he’s changed the attitude of the players. He was fighting for La Liga, now he has a really fantastic possibility. “I think they are playing the worst team they could play because Atletico are a really, really tough team. They are team that concede nothing, not one opportunity. Every final is tough.”Diego Simeone is targeting is first Champions League trophy after missing out to Ancelotti’s Real in 2014, and the 56-year-old believes Atletico have consistently been one of the best teams in the tournament in recent years. “I knew Simeone as a player. He was a tough player, really concentrated, and it’s the same as a manager,” said Ancelotti. I think he’s really focused on the little details, so he was able to build a defensive organisation.“Also, he has a really fantastic relationship with his players. “He’s showed this during the matches, also you have to consider all the supporters from Atletico are really close to each other, the supporters with the players, the the supporters with the manager, that’s the strength of Atletico Madrid. This is the job of Simeone.“The past year in Champions League they’ve done really, really well, they’ve got close to winning it. The last two or three years, Atletico have been one of the best teams.”</blockquote>
