The defeat suffered by Atlético de Madrid last Tuesday, against Chelsea in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League continues to create criticism. The rácano game shown by those of Cholo Simeone has no excuse and that is how its detractors see it.
One of the last to criticize Atlético de Madrid has been the former Madrid player Antonio Cassano, a player who always speaks very clearly and this time it has been no less. These have been his words:
“Simeone? If you are born square, you cannot die round. They don’t give a damn about the Champions League, they know they can’t win it ”. But the Italian did not stop there and continued with his criticism:
“They saw the light at the end of the tunnel that they can win LaLiga, these two games in the league are fundamental, before the Classic. You can also tie in the Classic, so they would always be at a safe distance and they can win LaLiga”, referring to the derby as Classic.
To end his fierce criticism, he ended by adding: “They are throwing the Champions League and launching in LaLiga, that’s my thought.” The former Roma player spoke on BoboTV, Cristian Vieri’s live channel on Twitch.
Vieri himself, who was a striker for Atlético de Madrid, also criticized Atlético’s work: “You can’t play like that, they have fantastic players but they play too bad for what they have at their disposal.”
THE CRITICISMS OF THE MADRID ATHLETIC ALSO EMERGED IN FRANCE
What happened in Bucharest has triggered some somewhat excessive reactions. In France, one of the star reporters of ‘L’Equipe’, perhaps exceeded his reflections. Bertrand Latour was fattened with the colchoneros, in the program The Estelle Team:
“It is one of the teams that I hate the most in Europe for 10 years. It is always a joy to see this team lose that has won so many games unfairly. I do not support this team. I prefer not to see this team.”, he pointed.
“It’s better this year in LaLiga, but he’s been pissing everyone off for 10 years by playing 10 years ago and winning only by destroying the opponent’s game”exclaimed the journalist.
