Diego Pablo Simeone has emerged during his years as a mattress coach as the great ogre of Real Madrid, with special devotion to playing at the Santiago Bernabéu. The white fiefdom is very good for the Argentine coach and he usually gets good results there.
In a confrontation, the next, in which the coaches will have more prominence than ever for the so different moments that both templates pass, it should be noted the great streak of the Atlético de Madrid coach at the Santiago Bernabéu. Those years in which the mattresses were not able to beat to Real Madrid, something that Cholo suffered in first person in his first derbies.
With the Cup the ghosts left
That goal from Miranda’s head it scared away all the ghosts that mattress fans were used to and began a new era marked by the fact that the Madrid derby was once again a competitive match.
The last victory of the rojiblanco team against Real Madrid consisted of the 1999/2000 season until Diego Costa set out to proclaim Atlético de Madrid as the capital’s team again.
Since that victory, Simeone has never lost at the Bernabéu in the domestic championship with two draws and four wins that place Atlético de Madrid and ‘Cholo’ as some of the great ogres of the merengue team at home. Messi and Barcelona would also occupy a privileged position on this list.
The short advantages, the iron defenses and the different approaches, at least in the League, have allowed him not only to stand up to the white team, but to overcome them on many occasions. Something that has not happened with other competitions such as the Champions League.
The ‘Cholo’ Simeone faces one of his favorite rivals in someone else’s house, has found the formula to stop meringues and to put the Madrid derby at the level it deserves.
More questioned than ever
After the structural reform of the Atlético de Madrid In the last summer market, with the departure of key players from the 11th holder, this year has been very difficult.
Very far from the leadership of the League, eliminated with a terrible disappointment against the Cultural Leonesa and in a confrontation against the best team in Europe that threaten Cholo with a blank year, without options for the title much earlier than expected.
This derby is worth the Argentine to redeem himself and get chest. A victory for Cholo against Real Madrid would strengthen his figure and I would flip to the current situation of the colchoneros.
