Diego Simeone: 'Copa del Rey is important'

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone insists that he will take the Copa del Rey seriously despite the competition being down the pecking order in terms of priorities.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has said that his team will travel to Reus Deportiu for the first leg of their last-32 Copa del Rey clash on Tuesday "with humility and respect".

The capital outfit last won the Spanish cup in the 2012-13 season, before going on to lift the league title one year later.

Simeone has insisted that he will continue to respect the competition, but is expected to make changes for the clash with Reus Deportiu, who play their football in the Segunda B.

"The Copa has always been respected by Atletico. It's given us great joy. For this squad, [the 2013 Copa triumph] was the start of very important things which followed," Simeone told reporters.

"We'll work as we've always done [in the order of] friendlies, Copa, La Liga and the Champions League, with the same enthusiasm when wearing the club jersey. The tie is over two games, but we'll go there with humility and respect, trying to play the match on our terms."

Atletico will enter the Copa clash off the back of a 1-0 win over Espanyol in La Liga at the weekend.
