“Many people did not trust us. It’s good when you follow what you believe in and things happen naturally like they did after the World Cup,” he said. Diego Simeone in a press conference after losing Cádiz for 5-1 in Metropolitan and grab second place from real Madrid in the league.
These days are very different from the days before the World Cup when the team was adrift. Relegated first in Europe, staying in LaLiga in positions outside the Champions League and then relegated to the Copa del Rey. Now, in a completely different version, people have no doubt about Cholo.
And that he was previously the coach with the most titles, eight in total; it has reached two Champions League finals out of the three the club has played in; He has not dropped into the top three places when to find the previous time you have to go back to Double; that’s done with the jinx in the derbies against real Madrid…
Another remarkable fact that shatters some critics of cholism is the following. He Athletic after winning the Double in 1996 and until the arrival of Cholo in 2012 he was only 28 out of 612 days ahead of real Madrid. A total of 4.5% as Pedro Martín pointed out on Twitter.
Well, that percentage has increased to ten since the Argentine coach came to the bench of Athletic. In maturity Simeon they were ahead of whites on 189 of the 413 days. A total of 45%.
There is no doubt that since he arrived on the bench of the rojiblanco team, the differences between the first two teams of Madrid somewhat reduced.
