Live broadcast on 30/0 In the 0th round of La Liga on Sunday night, Beijing time, Atletico Madrid will go to challenge Sevilla away. In his press conference ahead of the game, the Sheets boss Simeone spoke about his team's preparations, while also answering some questions from fans and the media that are of great concern.

Mentality about the locker room

We continued along the same lines and focused on the game against Sevilla, which is the most important thing at the moment. Despite not having a good record, Sevilla FC played well, so it will be a complicated game.

On the questioning of Griezmann

No, I have no doubts about Griezmann.

About the reason for what happened this month

I don't want to talk about the previous games because it doesn't help. We did well in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. In the Copa del Rey we were beaten by a very good team and you know how I feel about what happened in the Champions League. So, we are now focused on playing against Sevilla.

We've done a good job as a team and now the focus is on La Liga and we have to play in the best way until the end.

On De Paul will be sidelined

We're analysing and we're looking forward to Koke's comeback, he's doing well. Marcos Llorente can also play, so we'll rest De Paul.

About what should be done now

Since coming to Atletico, I've been looking for pure growth and I know that is still the case today. However, the most important thing is to leave a legacy here. What was once a possibility is now a real option. The other day, I told the players that they are proud of the legacy they have left behind, that what used to be an option can now be contested, and that the good thing is that we can continue down this path.

About playing Sevilla

Sevilla are very competitive and they are better than they are on the pitch. It's going to be a tough game and we all need to do something.
