Diego Simeone, the head coach of Atletico Madrid, confirmed that the FIFA Club World Cup is completely different from local league competitions, stressing the importance of enthusiasm and commitment during the team's journey in the global tournament.

Simeone said: "The FIFA Club World Cup is not like La Liga, we are playing on neutral ground and everyone here is trying to prove themselves in a completely different tournament."

Regarding facing Paris Saint-Germain again, he explained: "In our previous match in the Champions League, Paris deserved to win, they played better and created many opportunities, we were very strong on a collective level and put in a lot of effort."

He added: "I don't think there have been significant changes since that match, Paris is still playing in their known style, they have young players in midfield and outstanding forwards, and a coach who knows how to reflect his style on the team's performance."

About the Paris Saint-Germain coach, Simeone said: "Luis Enrique has proven his worth wherever he has been, whether with the Spanish national team, Celta Vigo, or Barcelona, he has a clear philosophy that succeeds when working with players who understand his approach."

The Atletico Madrid coach concluded his remarks by saying: "Playing in a global tournament like this requires a special focus and commitment, and we hope to show this on the pitch."
