Koke on his Rodrigo conversation ahead of Man City vs Atletico
Atletico Madrid will lock horns with Manchester City this week.
The clash is the quarter-final of the
Champions League, which makes it a big game. Los Rojiblancos are determined to pull off an impressive display at the Etihad Stadium and deliver a good result before the second tie with their great form.
Following a poor start this season,
Diego Simeone
’s side have made their way into the third place in the La Liga table, vanquishing Sevilla this weekend. Their points are now the same as Barcelona and Sevilla and Real Madrid lead the table with 12 points in their advantage.
City are leading the Premier League table, defending their title way better that Atletico are. However, Liverpool sits only one point adrift of them and they seem far from running away with the trophy just yet.
Atletico beat Manchester United and eliminated them from the Champions League in the Round of 16 whereas City knocked out Sporting Lisbon.
Atletico skipper
Koke
and City’s
Rodrigo
have very important roles for tomorrow’s game.
“
Yes, of course,”
Koke replied when asked had he discussed the game with Rodrigo as per
Diario AS
.
“With the national team. He admitted to me that it was going to be a very tough match.
“‘We live many games like this in the Premier League,’ he said to me. So I warned him; ‘But Atletico aren’t in the Premier League.’
“He told me that it was going to be strange for him to play at the Wanda [Metropolitano] as he’s fond of Atletico. I already told him that we’re going to win for sure. He knows what Atletico are like.”
