Diego Simeone is optimistic about what is happening at Atletico Madrid despite their underwhelming season
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone believes the La Liga side are continuing to grow despite not winning a trophy this season.
Atletico Madrid were on course แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ for a treble in March, but the Rojiblancos have since slipped away one by one before ending up third in La Liga behind Real Madrid and Barcelona, but Simeone remains optimistic about the club’s growth.
‘A club that has the opportunity to grow by participating in the Club World Cup, always being in the Champions League, it’s great for the club and the growth of the club, the demands are increasing, this is a tournament that Real Madrid and Barcelona play every year, so it’s not easy.’
‘In the last few years we have always finished third in theory, last year we finished fourth, but looking back, Athletic Club is growing, Villarreal is growing and it was not easy to get close to Madrid and Barcelona, but we tried, we created excitement for you and for us and in the end the gap was clear.’
‘We don’t always finish third, we’ve finished second twice and we’ve won the league twice, against Madrid and Barcelona. In the 40 years between 1984 and today, Athletic won the league once, Deportivo won it once, Valencia won it twice and we won the league three times. There must be a reason.’
‘We want to get closer to winning the title, but we also see the value in what we can achieve,’ Simeone said.
