Atlético aims to link three consecutive victories in the competition to the penultimate place, which they have not achieved since October
While doubts about his continuity on the Atlético bench are mounting now that the rojiblanco team’s only goal is to qualify for the Champions League, Diego Pablo Simeone wanted to remind this Friday that he has “still” one year left on his contract and assured be “with great desire” to cope with what remains. “I’m at peace with it because since I arrived at the club I’ve given everything and I’ll give it until the last day I’m there,” the Argentine coach proclaimed before Atlético host Getafe this Saturday on the first day of the second round of the League, with Quique Sánchez Flores on the verge of collapse as azulón coach.
Facing the penultimate place, having only three wins and five draws, Atlético has the opportunity to tie three consecutive days to victory, something it has not achieved since October and could be the turning point where the colchoneros crave. To do this, Simeone again demanded the support of the Metropolitan fans – “We need the whole stadium”, he insisted – and asked his footballers to “keep playing with enthusiasm and be competitive”.
“Illusion, enthusiasm, contagion and fun always make those on the field better and when these situations come together, the teams usually react in the best way,” launched Cholo, for whom “the hardest thing in this game is to find regularity.” .
“I still have a very excited half of the championship to go,” the Atlético coach stressed, proud of his team “because it has a regular game and good intensity in situations”, although acknowledging that “it must continue to grow. ” “I ask to keep playing with enthusiasm and to be competitive,” insisted Simeone, while Quique Flores, who really threatened after the Getafe fans yelled at him “Go now”, attributes the situation of the Azulón team “to the Results.”
The fact is that the continuity of Quique, although the president of Getafe, Ángel Torres, has conveyed “rest”, is more than ever threatened by an Atlético team that has not lost to this rival in any of the last 20 league games and that has have kept clean sheets in the last 18 matches. With Simeone, Atlético faced Getafe 22 times, with 19 wins and two draws for the rojiblancos. And Getafe, in an extreme situation, have lost their last five games, four in the league and one in the cup, although Simeone believes that “they’ve been fighting really well in all the last games they’ve played and they have a coach who it.” very clear about what is there”.
