What’s been said?

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Simeone: “Well, obviously there is someone that I look up to and learn from him in many situations and what is for me outstanding is his passion.

“I think for how long he’s been in the game and in the same club with the same players, how you still have that hand and that capacity to transmit such an energy and willingness to win.

“It’s a very tough environment that we live in and to keep convincing players you have to be extraordinary as well.

“I don’t know [him] personally but everything I heard about him is that he’s so good at doing that. That’s one of the reasons why you are able to sustain at that level.”

Simeone praised the job Arteta has done at Arsenal: “Just keep doing what he’s doing.

“Don’t lose that identity. Be authentic and genuine, be respectful when you don’t win. There are ups and downs in life and he’s doing a fantastic job.”
