The Italian was speaking to the press at Atletico Madrid’s home ground, adding another layer of doubt to his future. The media pressed for clarification on his position and the truth in the reports that were
emanating, instead of quashing the reports floating around, the veteran said:

Reja’s attitude made it seem as if coming to the Calderon was a mere formality and he is just there for the attendance. Commenting on the issue, he said:
“We are here to honour the game. We all know the first-leg result and the value of our opponents.”

Reja also heaped praise on his Lazio team, stating that his players gave everything even in toughest of the conditions.
