Italian coaching legend Giovanni Trapattoni is a big fan of Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone.

Trapattoni says he prefers watching Atletico over the tiki-taka of Barcelona.

“I love Simeone, and I don't think he would be offended if I said that his character is similar to mine, my teams had the same philosophy," he told AS.

“I'm not going to name names, but there are some teams which play the ball around for half an hour without a single shot on goal... that sends me to sleep! I prefer Simeone's way - a thousand times; he's someone who goes right down to the grain and always promises a thrilling spectacle with his intensity. Saying that his side plays badly is a massive lie".
