It is true that looking back at this six-year period, which is completed in a few months, it will be difficult to find another failure of the "Tsolo". Those Christmas of 2011 that decided to accept the suggestion of the "ricoblanco" knew it was like taking a house in its ruins. He had to rebuild it, put the foundations firmly, raise it up ...
There was a substitute for Simeone in Atletico! Related Articles5
1 group, 1 person
And he did it. No fan of the team could ask more than that. She went to the Champions League final, helped her to win the Euroleague League and the championship in Spain. He made a team solid, a team attractive to many of the world football stars. It is a group that has its own seal, made a house, his home, from the beginning.
This is the main reason why what's going on since the start of this year's Atletico season is even worse. To leave the Champions League phase 16 team out of two finals in 2014 and 2016?
Simeon did not fail on the "rocket" or as a footballer as he left the team shortly before the drama began. And he returned when things were made and was present at the 1995-96 doubles championship, a championship and a cup that were won against FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, which was in the aftermath of the "Pentecost of the Vip".
The "Tsolos", then, faced with failure. The fans do not ... they still dare to blame him for him. It would be, in a sense, unholy, to the man, who brought him to light at the end of the tunnel ...
He does not want to make a public chat about what's happening this year. Maybe he can not explain it anymore. It is not that the team does not win. It is that he probably does not know who is wrong, what has changed this year.
"We have to go on, I believe in the team," he said after the home draw with Karabang, which now brings Atletico a step from the exclusion from the continuation of the top European league tournament.
So what is the blame for the worst period in the presence of Simeon on the team bench?
It may have contributed negatively to the fact that the team was not backed up last summer due to the FIFA punishment following a violation of regulations on the acquisition of juvenile footballers. It is, however, the same team as last year ... Simeon will have to wait until January for Diego Costa to be available, hoping that the international Spanish will provide solutions to the attack while hoping that Antoine Griezman , shadow of himself so far, will meet on a racing match.
Obviously and not only the Frenchman is responsible for the team's inability to attack. Against Garabag on Tuesday night, the Spanish team had 35 shots in the home and just once the ball entered the nets. Gaiairo, Torres, Viete can not help, the efforts of Saul, Thomas, Carasco are not enough.
Atletico can not even impose its own game even when it's playing on its court. Against the Azeris, Simeon's players left a lot of uncovered spaces, showing themselves to be trapped in the game of their opponents instead of doing their own. The same happened with Chelsea in the "Metropolitano", even with Zero for the championship, with the Catalans dominating the pitch for 60 minutes.
"I just breathe to see my team bother". It's his own words. His Atletico, unfortunately for himself, does not bother ...
Players may have been affected even by changing seats ...
However, the most alarming is that it does not seem to have anymore ... overcome the philosophy it had imposed in previous years. Where are his fighters? Those who give it all, those who ... spit blood inside the stadium? Can the Argentine reverse the situation? If not, then everything looks like his turn at Atletico will close much earlier than in the summer of 2020 when the contract expires just a few months ago saying he wants to go along for many more years.
