The season may be winding down, but the Colchonero
coach is gearing his side up for a strong finish, while urging fans to
play their part.
Atletico hold a 1-0 lead in their Champions League quarter-final tie with Leicester City after a victory at the Vicente Calderon on Wednesday and sit third in LaLiga, 10 points adrift of leaders Real Madrid.
Simeone's side look set to battle Sevilla for the last automatic Champions League qualifying spot and the Argentine will demand all he can from his players, while hoping the fans can play their part.
"We need the greatest effort of all the players we have. We will try to squeeze the maximum out of each one of them," Simeone told his pre-match media conference for Saturday's match against Osasuna.
"We have been working on achieving regularity for a long time and [against Osasuna] we are probably going to find a team that comes excited from their two consecutive wins.
"What I am clear on is that the match is decisive for us. There are only a few weeks left, it's seven finals and I consider this as one.
"We have played against Madrid, then four days later Leicester, now we are going to play Osasuna, three days after that we are going to play in England.
