MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – Diego Simeone has admitted his mistake. On the eve of the Copa del Rey match against Deportivo La Coruña, El Cholo returned to the spat he had with Vinicius during the Spanish Super Cup semifinal lost to Real Madrid, when he addressed the Brazilian by saying: “Remember, Florentino will kick you out.”

“I would like to apologize to Mr. Florentino Pérez and to Vinicius. I did not behave well at that moment and I admit it,” said the Atlético Madrid coach. “The team that wins deserves to go through, and they deserved to advance, just as Barcelona later deserved to win the final. Xabi Alonso’s criticism of me? I have nothing else to add,” Simeone replied, after his colleague said he had crossed the line.
