Ralf Rangnick makes admission on Manchester United Champions League record and Diego Simeone's style
22.02.2022 - 17:45 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick lavished praise on Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone for developing the Spanish champions into 'one of the most respected' in Europe.
Simeone was appointed as Atletico coach in 2011 and has guided them to two La Liga titles, two Europa League triumphs and two Champions League finals, which they lost on both occasions to city rivals Real in 2014 and 2016.
Atletico secured their second championship last season but are currently fifth in La Liga and 15 points adrift of leaders Real, having lost at home last week to basement club Levante.
Despite Atletico's struggles this season, Rangnick spoke effusively about their identity under Simeone on the eve of United's first European Cup meeting with Atletico. "In those 11 years, he won trophies with a clear identity, with a recognisable playing style and I don't think this has changed in the last years," Rangnick said.
"It's always an emotional side and this reflects the character of the manager. Diego Simeone is probably one of the most emotional managers in Europe and the style and the way his teams have always performed reflects those emotions that he always tries to bring to the team.
"And this is what it's about: we need to match the emotions and energy in both games and this is what we will have to be aware of. I will try to prepare our team for exactly that kind of challenge.
"It will be physical, it will be emotional, we have to be mentally strong in both games, more so away. We've never played each other yet but I've always admired what he's achieved in 11 years.
"At Atletico, he changed their club completely into one of the most respected clubs in Europe and I'm looking forward to those two games we're playing."
