Atletico Madrid defender Molina: Playing for Simeone good for me

Atletico Madrid defender Nahuel Molina is delighted playing for coach Diego Simeone.

The Argentina World Cup winner says playing for Simeone has improved his football.

He told AS: "What does Simeone ask of me? It depends on the rival, the match, what is at stake. My main characteristics are to go on the attack, arrive by surprise or join from behind, which is more difficult to score in the game.

"Then I try to help where I have to and where I can accompany the team.

"Yes, I had to arrive and play from the start, that's why I tell you that adapting to a team is not easy, arriving, playing, trying to connect with your new teammates. I feel happy for the opportunity that the club and the coach gave me and I try to enjoy it, as little as I can because you can't enjoy it so much, but rather think about the game that follows and always try to do your best."
