JAKARTA - Atletico Madrid will face Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Wednesday 6 April morning WIB. The first leg will be held at Manchester City's home, Etihad Stadium.
Ahead of this match, Atletico Madrid coach, Diego Simeone, actually praised Manchester City. He claimed to enjoy watching Pep Guardiola's team play.
He realized that his team had to step up the game to beat Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals later.
"It's nice to see how City play. What I like about a team like City is the effort they put in trying to get the ball and keep possession. It's nice to see them play," said Simeone, as reported by Reuters from Reuters.
"What drives me the most is to see these quality players always working and being active in every fight for the ball. That's what every coach wants," he continued.
Simeone is not worried that Atletico will play the first leg away from home and undergo the decisive match at home. According to him, the first thing to think about is to determine what they should be doing in Manchester.
He also doesn't see the advantage of facing a Premier League side again even though Atletico had previously eliminated Manchester United in the last 16. He said, these two teams have different characteristics.
"City are a more positional team and dominate all phases of the game. We have to play better and fix everything than we did two weeks ago against United if we want to have a chance," he said.
