Live Bar News on August 3, Ma Jing and Chelsea striker Diego Costa received an exclusive interview with Spanish media Relevo at his home in Madrid, during which he talked about topics such as the old club Atletico Madrid and Simone.
— When I worked for Atletico Madrid for the first time, I met Fran and Aguero.
“I have long known that they have top strikers. I enjoyed watching the match between them because they were in the ranks of great strikers. During the time I spent with them, I learned a lot, such as the kind of benign competition between them.”
— The most regretful mistake
“Now it seems that there are some things that I did wrong, but one thing that can’t be blamed on me is that I left Chelsea. Then the second thing (making mistakes makes yourself angry) is the last time I left Atletico Madrid. At that time, I had something personal. Simone didn’t see it, but we communicated with each other in a friendly way. During this period, we all respected each other, because I have paid a lot to go to his side, and we always move forward hand in hand.”
“I have dedicated everything and I hope to get the same return, but most of the time I fail to do so. My feeling was like, ‘why do I like this bastard so much?’ I knew this feeling was also mutual, well, until he invited me to dinner. When I finally left Atletico Madrid, I stayed in Brazil. My teammates often called to let me go back. Of course I could go back because I still had a contract. Until December, I broke up with the club.”
— Do you want more understanding about leaving the team?
“That’s my fault. It has nothing to do with anyone.”

“I only left a bitter feeling, which was once our highlight moment. God wants this to happen. In me, in Turan, Real Madrid’s last-minute goal… We clearly know that after a long season, the physical fitness has reached its limit. If you drag it into the plus, the other party will definitely score the goal.”
“They (Real Madrid) are more energetic, while we are very nervous, which consumes more physical energy. When you throw the ball at that critical moment, it is the worst case. Before the start of overtime, we both physically and mentally declined.”
— Simone
“He knows how to lead the team and is always ready. He wants to win most. It is very difficult to win his trust. He is very harsh to the new comers. The new comers must train crazily. Not everyone has that kind of mental and physical preparation.”
“When losing, he would never blame the players or throw the pot to others. If you hear these words from him, it means that he wants the player to pack up and leave. He will never fight against his players. On the contrary, he will shoulder all responsibilities.”
