“In these twelve years, it has not occurred to anyone that El Cholo had to leave Atlético,” the Atleti president said on “Radio Marca”.
The president of Atlético de Madrid, Enrique Cerezo, granted an interview “Radio Marca” to get the news from the capital club.

These are Cerezo’s most striking statements about “Radio Marca”.
The possible arrival of Mateu Alemany. “All I know is that they are negotiating to let me work at Atlético de Madrid.”
The pressure Xavi is talking about. “Dealing with it in football is very difficult. If you take it with you or with someone, it is very complicated. I understand Xavi, the pressure is great. But he has been under this pressure all his life and he has dealt with it always very well done.” The pressure is so much, and since that’s the way it is in this business, you have to bear it.”
Simeone phenomenon. “The Cholo thing in Spain is a special event. I don’t think there have been many coaches over 15 years old, I don’t think any. He’s going through it, and he’s going through it well and successfully. “I know the case of Ferguson at United and it seems to me a beautiful and magnificent story. I think it’s great that this continuity is fruitful and enjoyable for everyone, for the partners, managers, players and everyone around Atlético de Madrid.”
What is El Cholo like for a destination? “First: he is a hardworking person. Second: he is someone who knows and loves what he does. Third: he is smart, he knows exactly how to be the way he should be in every situation. And fourth is he has become so involved with Atlético de Madrid, with his fans, with his players and it is very easy for him to be at Atlético de Madrid.
Continuity. “In the 12 and 15 years to come, it has not occurred to anyone that El Cholo should leave Atlético. I have said and will say that El Cholo will stay at Atlético until he wants to.”
Renewal. “The only problem that there was was the issue that the salary was reduced because I stayed at Atlético de Madrid. I think it’s a shame that you can say that. We have had a coach who, yes, may have been the one who has earned the most, but he is the one who has given us the most titles. It is true that he may have been the best paid coach in the world: because he deserved it, because of the titles he won and because we all with him. For us he was paid well, which we were able to pay and that to pay or not to pay was our issue, not that of the general public. We are the ones who have to pay him and we always have our bills and with him even more. a miracle that we were able to pay him everything we were able to pay him, because he earned it and earned it.
Koke’s extension. “I don’t know when Koke’s opponent will win, but I imagine he won’t have any problems, on the contrary. We try to do things sensibly and I imagine that both Koke and those of us around Koke know what to do. .”
Goals. “We dream every year, like all teams, that we dream of achieving the maximum. But reality makes you change the dream. We were league champions when they took the three points, we were league champions when there were no longer human.” the fields with the pandemic and now we can become champions when the fields are full. Why not?”
The competition. “Real Madrid, Barça and Atlético are on the same starting grid. We may be a little better off because we still have a match to play and if we win we will be much better positioned. It’s a matter of luck to be with you . Because I am in the “In football there is a percentage of luck and then knowing how to play and knowing how to stand on a football field. 30% is luck… or who arrives furthest at the end of the season.”
Madrid and Barca. “If Atleti wants to win LaLiga, Atlético de Madrid does not have to fail. And then you will see how we won LaLiga. I would like you to ask that question to Real Madrid and Barcelona. In order to win LaLiga, we failed “.
Champions.”We could have three Champions Leagues, but we don’t. And why is that? Because we played no better or worse than the rival. One was luckier because he scored more goals or more penalties, and we didn’t because We scored fewer.”
