It is known that football is a state of mind. And changeable, changeable. If not, tell them Diego Simeone coach of Atletico Madridthat number disappeared from inquiry and remained undisputed for several months.
Obviously, results rule. And they said the season was bad for the rojiblanco team until the competitions stopped in mid-November because of the World Cup in Qatar. That left Atlético eliminated from the Champions League (and the Europa League) and far, far, from the LaLiga leader. The Cup remained the only hope. And of course, meet the club’s minimum goal, to qualify for the biggest continental competition.
It wasn’t just the numbers that said the course was bad. Also the sensations, very far from the expectations of a team like a mattress. Players at a very low level, Cholo without knowing how to find the keya, a rare atmosphere on and off the pitch…
But the World Cup is over. Or what’s the same, club football is back. There are departures from the squad (Cunha, Joao Felix and Felipe) and two arrivals (Memphis and the testimonial moment of Doherty). The footballers are back to offer their best performance. And Simeone played the necessary pieces to get the engine working again. For example, Hermoso’s, which the technician bet on. And the player responded. The damage of reinildo This caused Cholo to revert to the 5-3-2. Coke carbide on the pivot. AND griezmannCholo’s eternal protector, threw the team behind him. to Paul and Carrasco Are others…
The result: eight wins and two draws in the last ten games, with a Cup elimination in the quarterfinals against real Madrid with controversial arbitration in the return match at the Bernabéu where Atlético went on to win 0-1 and where they fell in extra time, feeling deeply affected by Soto Grado’s decisions.
All this means that Simeone, for whom many asked for his head in November or, at least, that he will not continue next season, has disappeared from the discussed to the indisputable. Now few doubt the technician, whose contract expires in 2024. From making sure the cycle is over, to thinking he can extend his relationship with Atlético de Madrid. Really Luis Enrique on the Metropolitan’s bench, to think about the future with Cholo. From receiving the whistle in the stadium, to his song playing again.
