3) He feared no one but himself
Fearful would probably be one of the last words that could be used to describe Diego Simeone. Never too far from a confrontation, Simeone was always like a raging bull on the field and in his own words, did not fear any opponent ever.
Speaking about whom he feared during his playing career, Simeone said, “There was no player or team in particular. In fact, I feared myself the most because I knew that if I wasn't mentally prepared to give 100 per cent in every game then I wasn't the same player.“
