Simeone looks for balance ahead of Manchester United Champions League clash

Madrid, Oct 13 (UNI) Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone is looking for balance ahead of his side's Champions League tie at home to Manchester United on Tuesday night.

"We know how difficult this competition is, as the format (with only the top eight teams in a group of 32 qualifying directly for the last-16) means you have to try to pick up points whether you're home or away," said Simeone in his pre-game press conference.
"Balance, in defense or attack, is the key and that has always been our strength," he continued, adding that when the "team works together, great things start to happen."
The Argentinean explained that although Manchester United is struggling for form in the Premier League, the side is still "an opponent that applies high pressure in your own half, closing you down quickly."
"They have quick players, and despite recent results, they are a strong team and able to threaten you. We need to steer the match in a direction where we think we can hurt them," commented Simeone.
