Diego has credited manager Diego Simeone with installing a winning mentality at Atlético Madrid.
The Argentinian tactician has quickly turned Atlético into a side that can compete on all fronts and at the highest level.
Diego, who rejoined Los Rojiblancos from VfL Wolfsburg in January, has praised Simeone’s work and believes his desire to win has pushed Atlético to the next level.
“It makes a difference. The head must be very strong to fight the giants of European football,” he told AS.
“Everything else is earned by Atlético Madrid. A winning team has been built by Simeone, psychologically strong and ready to win, at all costs.”
