The England international defender is enjoying working alongside the former Chelsea frontman in Spain and under highly-rated manager Diego Simeone
Diego Costa is “a nightmare to play against” and lives in “a world of his own”, says Kieran Trippier, with the England international happy to be on the same side as an enigmatic forward at Atletico Madrid.
The former Tottenham full-back knew all about the mercurial former Chelsea frontman before sealing a switch to Spain in the summer of 2019.
Having faced him in Premier League competition, Trippier was aware of the quality possessed by Costa.
