The four data that gives the reason to Simeone about his course review: “This is positive”

She is Atlético de Madrid It’s almost a week on vacation. While in Club World Cup, Teams will drive each other who is advancing the qualifications to find this new title, the mattresses are resting. This is not the initial plan, obviously, because of those Diego Pablo SimeonAnd they hope to be one of the teams to fight for the trophy.

The removal of Club World Cup It is the epilogue in a relatively frustrating season, in many ways. She is Cholo He defended that it was a great campaign, in which he fought in many fronts, where he finished the Winter Champion, in the middle of the season; And where it competed. This is not an opinion that everyone shares, of course, in this kind of conclusions there is always a difference -when it comes to seeing it.

“The balance? It’s still positive. We’re back to compete properly until semi CupExcellent in Championsof the best we competed with. We all know how it ended. In League We had aspirations until March. I felt that this season was the closest we were in recent years, to champion. We have a failure not to win any title, which is what makes the fan happy. I am happy that demand is to win a contest because it leaves a legacy for Simeone Before starting at the appointment of USA.

After those words, the Atlético de Madrid He has been staring at one of the biggest surprises or failures of Club World Cup deleted prematurely, despite achieving the same points as two great rivals of the group, Psg and BOTAFOGO. A irony outcome outline FIFA. She is Athletic He wants at least in the quarterfinals, that’s the club’s forecast.

She is World He left the bad sensation in some aspects, the disability in Rojiblanca to put his statistic domain on the necessary purposes, despite the quality of his players, putting some shortcomings. As in previous matches this happened with a defense that became second best to Laliga;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; or a left band that is extremely touched by improvable performance of Javi Galán, Samu Lino and CONOR GALLAGHER.

After the removal, the states’ statements revealed a mixture of frustration, self-reflection and pride. Diego Simeone, The coach of Athleticexpressed his disappointment, saying that “every arbitration decision in this contest is against us.” Despite this, he acknowledged that his team was “close” and “competing well”, but they still had to “a little more.” He also emphasized the impact of the first party, declaring that “the party against the Paris He condemned us. “

Opposite to the position of Simeone, Antoine Griezmann He offered a more demanding vision. French striker says “We can’t focus on the referee. Sometimes we’re not on our best level, and we should address that.”

The numbers that adopt Simeone

However, despite the fact that early removal of World He left a bitter taste, and intensified the doubts about what could have come for the mattress team and if Simeone remained captain of the right ship; Some data has eased the feeling that Atlético has planted the seed of something that may be large.

To begin with, because important signing was made, more than 180 million euros invested; As a prelude to 200 to invest in the current market, to take the next step in the team’s rebuild. Names such as Baena, Ruggeri either Cardosoclosed; Waiting for others who make themselves happy as ‘Cuti’ Romeroto raise the level of competitiveness.

But it is, only statistically, the Athletic He left a lot of data to pick up and ratify Simeone’s impression. Both in offensive and defensive aspects.

Let’s go to the parts, the mattress team scored a total of 113 goals in all competitions and received 55. We talked about the second most campaign -marking in the entire history of the creature. Following nothing. But, in addition, this is the period with more successes throughout the history of Atlético de Madrid. The team of Simeone He achieved 36, fully club record. One percent of the successes of 62 % in Laliga, 60 % in Champions71 % in Copa del Rey and 67 % in Club World Cup.

This is the third period with the highest percentage of successes in the total number of matches played, during Simeone, only improved 695 success of 13/14 and 64% of 15/16.

That, to the offensive, because of the defensive, we have found that the Athletic of the newly completed course, She suits 55 goals Among all the matches he plays, 58 in total. That is, an average of 0.94 per game. In LaligaThe Matt Athletic. While the mattresses fit 30 goals (0.78 on average), the ‘Lions’ received a less -29-. To put it in context, to Athletic They made him Nine goals less That with the team that ended champion.

In such defensive numbers, it is clear Jan oblak He won Zamora trophy In the least thrashed goalkeeper, 30 goals in the 36 games he played, an average of 0.83, to get his sixth honor from his career, the first to reach half a dozen dozen Zamoras In the history of Laliga. Without a doubt, there is hope of data on which to build next time.
