Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone appeared at a press conference to discuss tomorrow's match against Barcelona in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals.

The coach said: "The fans? They have acted as they do every year, the stadium was full, and they sing in every match, and the presence of the people gives us incredible energy. This is not the final, but the semifinals. The first leg ended in a 4-4 draw. It was a strong and enjoyable match, and we played against an opponent who plays extraordinary football and has great courage in attack."

He added: "Are you bothered by your results against Real Madrid and Barcelona? I am talking about my feelings. The team is having a very good season. We have competed well in the Champions League, the league, and the cup, and we hope to finish the season well. We hope to compete without playing one match after another."

He continued: "What do you think about the people who don't care about Atletico Madrid? It's an opinion, and it is respectful."

He further stated: "Will the league match be a reference for tomorrow's match? There will be different moments, the opponent will have a lot of possession, we can repeat matches, I don't think there will be many changes from either side, each will try to take it to where they believe they can perform better."

He added: "Juan Musso will play tomorrow, Cesar Azpilicueta, Reinildo, and Javi Galan can play. All three will be available and all want to start the match."

He completed: "What do you expect from Griezmann in this match? Everyone has their moments throughout the season. When we are used to having a lot of talent and goals, I hope he shines wonderfully tomorrow."

What do you think of Lewandowski's season? Congratulations to him, as he is having an exceptional season. I admire the work and perseverance. A player worthy of admiration. For the number 9, a player worth watching and learning from."

He mentioned: "How do you deal with your fear of failure? Failure is not trying. Those who do not try fail for me, the season is very good. We have performed very well in the Champions League, we have competed in the league and in the cup semifinals... Match by match, we will determine whether it is very good, exceptional, or average."

He added: "How can you stop Barcelona offensively? The opponent plays the entire match with the same intensity. They will have opportunities to score, and they play smoothly and courageously, and we will have to try to create better moments for ourselves."

He concluded: "Against Barcelona, we have to play with joy, with enthusiasm, and play as we have since day one, and clearly, I will not change in that regard."
