Full support for Simeone

Atlético suffered a blow with the defeat suffered against Mallorca. The 1-2 moves away the rojiblanco team of the head of the classification and not only does it not dispel doubts about the team, but it widens them. Atlético has had a rather anomalous start to the campaign and at Christmas it may be out of the two most important competitions that it disputes. But there is a fact that nobody doubts at the Madrid club: Simeone is the one in command of Atlético’s sports field and there is no doubt about him. Cholo is untouchable and from the top ranks of the club he has full support.

At Atlético they understand that the entity has lived through a decade of great success, of titles, where the team has been competing for everything. A few months ago Atlético was league champion and this has been due to Cholo. Another thing is that everyone is puzzled with what is happening to the team. There is no easy explanation for the defensive fragility of the rojiblanco team, the irregularity it shows, the gifts it gives … But Simeone has all the credit in the world in the season in which a great effort had been made from the leadership leadership to reinforce the squad: Major players like De Paul and Griezmann arrived.

The Madrid team faces a decisive match against Porto and both players and coaching staff will receive samples of support from the leaders. Another thing is that improper mistakes of Atlético from the Cholo stage are admitted: the team does not show the intensity or aggressiveness of yesteryear. He leaves the games during some phases of them and if Atlético does not go one hundred percent, they can lose to anyone. The team has not responded to the level of demand that is asked of it but Simeone is neither in danger nor questioned. At Atlético they know about the difficulties in finding the game system and it doesn’t seem that Cholo has found the eleven. It is clear that he can get much more out of the squad.

At the club they also understand that any team can go through a bad campaign, although right now the order from the high command of Atlético is to grit our teeth and recover the identity of the Cholo: to run more than the rival, to press and put the leg. Then quality will do the rest. Cerezo, Gil Marín and the rest of the Board of Directors understand that now more than ever you have to be next to the rojiblanco coach.
