Simeone's hilarious response to a journalist's tricky question

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone gave an interesting answer to a journalist who asked him about Villarreal midfielder Alex Baena. It should be noted that there were rumors in the press that Madrid was planning to add this player to its squad.

"You are asking me a tricky and ambiguous question. Now you are asking me to give my opinion on a player who will or will not come. So you think I am stupid? (laughs) Do you understand what I mean?

You expect me to give you an answer that if I say he is a good player, you immediately say: "The coach likes him, so there will be a transfer." If I give a negative assessment of his performance, you write that the coach does not like it. It is difficult to talk about a player who does not play for your team. But, in my opinion, Baena is a very good player," Simeone laughed.

The Atletico Madrid coach's response lifted the spirits of those gathered at the press conference and sparked widespread discussion on social media. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
