Inter Milan defender Diego Godin: Just like Ateltico Madrid

Inter Milan defender Diego Godin says it's been easy to settle in Italy.

Godin admits there's similarities with former club Atletico Madrid.

Godin said, “There are many similarities, trying to break the dominance in the title race. Inter's objective is to win and we need hard work and ambition to end that Juve monologue.

“Conte really reminds me of Simeone. They experience football with the same passion, are focused on details and get the best out of their players. Conte knows what he wants, gets straight to the point, which is the ideal for a player.

“I admit, Simeone did talk to me a lot about Inter. We discussed this move, he said Inter were the biggest club he'd ever known, with passionate fans.

“Diego is a great Coach, he followed a football idea and culture that allowed Atletico to fight it out with Barcelona and Real Madrid. It was the only possible way to compete against them, as if we'd played their style of football, we would never have come close."
