The ‘mattresses’ continue to bottom out. After the hard fall in the Spanish Super Cup, the team of ‘Cholo’ Simeone was eliminated in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad, a situation in which the Argentine coach tried to put cold cloths on him and focus on those who season left.
“It is a problem of football, of life. Every day is not the same. Last season was magnificent and this season is proving to be very difficult. The opportunities are there. We have the League and the Champions. Quiet, I’m not going to stay, for sure,” Simeone commented at the end of the game.
The Atleti coach believes that the bad moment is due to having lost that iron defense that characterized them. “Football is forceful in both areas and the more forceful, the closer you will be to winning. Hopefully we will meet again with that zero in our arch that was criticized for so many years and now has more and more weight. With stability, the rest is easier”.
Likewise, Simeone supported his players and renewed their confidence to face the two remaining tournaments. “The only way to improve is to help the footballer, give him confidence, peace of mind at this time when the situation creates complications. Let’s think positive. I’m optimistic and I believe in my players”.
