He Atlético de Madrid Wednesday night in Getafe, certified qualification for the Champions League for the twelfth consecutive season. He achieved it in all seasons where Diego Simeone He started as a mattress coach.
The merit is unquestionable. This trend has allowed the Colchonero club to be financially stable and become one of the best in Europe year after year. Therefore, the entity’s goal is to finish in the top four. This is what the team needs. This is the ‘attraction’ of the board.
But throughout the course the messages that came out of the locker room have been clear in this sense: they want more. And in recent days they have multiplied, along with their trainer Diego Simeone and with the captain koke on the head.
After winning at the Coliseum to confirm fourth place, the coach assured that “I want to be champion more than anyone, I work with a strong desire to inflate the balloon in the best way but sometimes it gets punctured. Let’s appreciate what we have, I’m the first one who wants to be champion, it’s not easy to win.”
Cholo wants more, but he also believes that what the red and white team did needs to be appreciated. Before the game I hinted at the possibility of the club increasing its goal. “This is an interesting question for another time of the season., not far from the end. “I always live for what will happen now, if you repeat it to me we can talk more deeply, which I understand is an interesting question,” he indicated.
And then there is koke, who has referred on more than one occasion to finishing in the top four as “the club’s goal.” But there is a desire to grow in the locker room. And although he aligns himself with Cholo to appreciate what has been achieved, it is clear that “the team is ambitious. He obviously doesn’t want to finish fourth every year and not win titles. Every year we fight for titles. Some happen and some don’t. We have set goals that the club has set for us, to be in the top four, which keeps us in a good economic position to bring in good players.” “I am happy with the goal achieved, but I want to win titles,” he concluded.
We will see if this coming summer Atlético is committed to raising the level, which should be accompanied by a renewal of the squad and the arrival of players who raise the level.
