Hanzko: Atletico Madrid learned that my transfer was not going well, responded quickly and solved all the problems quickly

Recently, Atletico Madrid new aid Hanzko was interviewed by Le Marca, who talked about his life in Spain, communication with Simeone and the process of failing to transfer to Riyadh to win.

Responsibility as a defensive leader

"As I have said many times, the last three years of career has been a huge learning experience for me. I am very much looking forward to winning respect here, through performance, leadership and impact on the team as I did before with three coaches. Just like I did at Feyenoord for the last two years, I believe I can do it here too."

Simone vs. Slot

"Every coach and player is different, but at this level, everyone has extremely high qualities and tactical insights. Nevertheless, here I can still feel some Spanish style, and some elements that remind me of Dutch football. For example, after our first game against Porto, Simeone called me and told me that I would start in the second half, but he didn't want to put too much pressure on me because I had a tough week. "

" After training, he sat on a ball and talked to me for 10 to 15 minutes, and I am grateful for this move. Like Slot before, Simeone also had a strong presence: when he walked into the room, the players straightened and focused, and this temperament was part of the reason for their success. "

Method of communication with Simeone

"Our coach played in Lazio and Inter, so he spoke very well in Italian. If he wanted to say something to me alone in training, he would shout it out in Italian. When we communicate, we would use Italian. Some words are very similar to Spanish, and football terms are common, so as long as he makes some gestures and says a few words, I roughly understand."

" There are some things I have to get used to, such as his specific requirements for oppression. So far, we have practiced a lot, and the coach and others are willing to explain to me. I feel like I adapted very quickly, and I made the right decisions in friendly matches and training. When something goes wrong, the coach will tell me what he expects, I will express my point of view, and then have an open discussion. It only takes time to accumulate enough experience and everything will become natural so that I can make the right judgment faster. "

About learning Spanish

"At the moment I am learning Spanish in Duolingo, the first two weeks are quite chaotic, and each training is as intense as the Champions League. I try to concentrate, imagine various situations, and take it as seriously as possible, which requires ”

" Add to the various matters of moving: finding a new residence, registering at the police station, checking in, buying furniture, etc., and packages sent from Prague. There are a lot of things, but now it is gradually settled. After being fully settled, I hope to ask a teacher to attend classes regularly and spend 15 to 20 minutes of self-study every day, whether on the road or at home, to improve my language level. ”

About Riyadh Victory

"Riyadh Victory was the first club to reach an agreement with Feyenoord, and I remember that I had to make a decision that day, and there was no other offer at that time. I gave it to you in the morning The agent called him and asked him to contact Atletico Madrid to confirm whether the two clubs had reached an agreement, but when I came back from training alone in the afternoon, it was obvious that there was no agreement between Atletico Madrid and Feyenoord. "After discussing with family, agent and friends, we decided to accept the offer for Riyadh victory because waiting was not the solution. I kept hesitating for the last few days, wondering if this was the right step. I wanted to stay in Europe, but there was no other choice. It was not an easy decision, but people around me assured me that it was the right club from a rational and practical point of view, so we made the decision."

Transfer Asked about the problem and Atletico Madrid's appearance "Everything has been negotiated, including between me and the club. I had joined the team training, but then things started to delay. I felt a little strange because they were communicating with my agent and didn't want me to participate in it in person. Atletico Madrid realized something was wrong and the other party made more excuses. My agent had a good relationship with Atletico Madrid's sports director. We told them that the situation was not going well and if Atletico Madrid could reach an agreement with Feyenoord, we were willing to fly over immediately."

" This caused their reaction and finally solved all the problems in a day or two. He We were so eager to sign me and did everything we expected: last winter or this summer, and eventually they finished it in a day or two. I always felt like I wanted to stay in Europe, and I thought fate played a big role and that was destined to happen. Although the week was tough, I lost three kilograms and spent most of my time sitting and waiting in the hotel lobby due to lack of sleep, trying to stay calm. "

"My wife gave me a lot of support and helped me get through it, and I kept reminding myself that it was just 'football', although it affected family life and determined where we would live and how we would live."
