Simeone aiming to "get it right against Barça"

The Atletico Madrid congratulated Messi on the birth of his second son while also discussing his side upcoming match against reigning La Liga champions.

On Koke's position:

"We're only two fixtures into the championship, that's why he's playing on the flank".

On his Squad:

"We can talk of different eventualities if we're doing well against Barça. We'll see what happens tomorrow. The anticipation of playing at the Calderón fills us with excitement".

On Messi:

"Congratulate him for becoming a father because that'sa big moment in anyone's life".

On Barça:

"They're managing to win without playing their best, which is always dangerous. They haven't had the same consistency, but they're coming off the back of winning everything and there's the utmost respect for their players and the manager".

On Atleti's good form:

"We're going into this in a good place. We showed desire against Sevilla. Tomorrow we need to be very good. Those that start and then those that come on afterwards, which is what happened against Sevilla.

On Fernando Torres:

"We haven't decided yet. We're somewhere between him and Jackson, we're sort it out tomorrow".

The formula for playing Barça:"We have yet to get it completely right against Barça, but we have been competitive. We'll be entrenched in the midfield waiting for a chance to counter, whilst allowing them to keep possession".

On Griezmann: "He's been developing rapidly, which is born out ofhis ambition and his desire to improve. He needs to work on a number of things to reach the very top. Let hope he reaches the level he's looking for (that of Cristiano and Messi)".
