Storming emotions are not an unusual sight from the Argentine, but after Tuesday evening's outburst, Simeone felt he needed to explain himself.
My reaction cannot be defended, but do you know how it feels to be insulted for 90 minutes? he says during the press conference after the match.
Liverpool decided the match in extra time in the stormy meeting at Anfield on Tuesday evening.
Simeone is known for wearing his emotions on his sleeve, and in connection with the goal, the cup overflowed for the 55-year-old, who had an outburst against Liverpool supporters in the stands, who during the match directed both insults and gestures towards him.
The Argentine received the red card. After the match, he was remorseful, but at the same time emphasized that he thinks hatred towards coaches should be taken more seriously.
Of course, I'm the one who must keep calm, I must endure the insults, the gestures, and all other situations because I'm in this position, he says.
In the same way that we fight against racism, we should take care of this. Coaches cannot respond to (the hatred) and it's not easy to be insulted for an entire match.
