Thank you Sid and Pablo. Sensible, fair comments.
ATM : Always Unlucky
Simeone bought in wrong players this time, Joao Felix is too expensive and not type of his player, and their Cbs are average, he sold Lucas Hernandez that was a mistake, they used to have a commanding cb like Godin, they don't have any solid cb that's why Atletico are fragile, Simeone needs to leave Atletico to Epl, He can reignite Arsenal imo
Get Stevie of the show, 0 knowledge
If Manchester United win against ATM clean sheet in first game. I will laugh.
Great job steve nicol keep Criticizing any team that’s not from the EPL your buddy Craig was aware of what you were doing and told you to take it easy because of the brotherhood of the Argentinians
too bad Craig himself couldn’t realize what he was saying about Serie A a couple videos ago
Know your surroundings its everyones game be humble it EVERYONES game
Simeone Revolutionize atletico madrid cheers to him before simeone atletico were nothing
Stevie still salty about atlético eliminating Liverpool last year in the champions league
Stevie….. mo salah as brilliant as he is cheats , dives every week. Unfortunately it's part of the modern game
calm down in two years Klopp and Guardiola won't be there anymore and your English trash Clubs will be put to their places again.
The only ones who defend simeone are the argentinians, simeone is overrated and Stevie is totally right about atlético!!
I agree that Felix was a phenomal player with potential but they never gave him a chance to improve athleti culture
@Athleti – It's pronounced Atleti.
They push the rules but they dont break the rules(at least I don't think) so they won La Ligua they are a pain to play. Respect from me. I'm a Liverpool and there the number 1 team I don't want to face in The CL
Last year La liga champions are given the adjective garbage by steve nicol .Absolutely hilarious
I mean i respect ATM as a football club but their football is just so pain to watch. Simeone love to build something ugly just to win result which is not appealing to casual sport fan
Stevie needs ? ? ?
Pablo Zabaleta is absolutely correct.
Im 100% with what Stevie said ! AM better be registered in the Rugby ? league!
He just won the league with that "garbage".
Sure, ask the Argentine about cheating, Zabaleta will look at you like Maradone rolling over in his grave and raising a hand
5 of the 6 group matches for atletico end with at least one red card they either kick players or roll for the slightest touch
Boring team indeed
I think Stevie needs to learn on how to shut up
Aupa Atleti ?⚪❤❤❤❤
Yes simone has done an excellent job but they are not taking a step further. They are not becoming a dominant power even after getting success and money.
Well I totally see where steve nicol is coming from and by the way they have spent money felix wasnt cheap for example it is a complete myth that they haven't and they are horrible to watch and he wouldn't get a premier league club simeone that is because of the style of football he plays imo I love how the pundits say he has to play in that way no football team in the world has to play in anyway you can play any style you like but athletico have got quality players they could play better style of football under a different manager imo but the dirty tricks come from simeone just look at what he did to Beckham in world cup 98 just obvious cheating to put it clearly ?
Mane and Sala dive all the time. Mane is always complaining to the referee and whining just like the Klopp and Steve Nicol. Must be a Liverpool thing.
Even I don't like the way they play. But they were competing against Prime Real and Barca. So we can't argue if he gets results. But sorry, they are boring tbf
stevie's just ranting against atleti coz they knocked liverpool out in CL last year.
Please don't bring these salty scots in a panel for laliga discussion……..
Espn invest big then Messi left. They try their best to make a show.
Atletico Madrid under El Cholo is exactly what Steve says boring. It is the kind of football no one wants to see or enjoys watching.
And still as a man utd fan Atletico is the last team I want to face in the last 16!
Look at Zabaleta's face at the end of the video when his co-worker was saying about Atletico Madrid Having Quality but Cheating Punching and Kicking their opponents, you will see he looks down as if he deeply admits that is true from his core. To be honest, Atletico Madrid is ultimately worthless to enjoy to watch because in the Mixed Martial Art, the play in the case without a ball lol.
I really like Ath. Madrid in 3-4 years ago but I really hate them watching. they are just boring, diver, play acting so horrible to watch. I still support them so that they can finish ahead Barca and Real. but refuse to watch them play.
Didn't atheltico outperformed Liverpool in Madrid when they met till the red card that ruined the game ? Atheltico can play beautiful if they want. They have the quality but still they play dirty sometimes.
Sid and Pablo are the only same journalists or even people who deserve to be journalists. All the others are frauds
AM are so borrrrring to watch, come on Z
Stevie doesn't like Simeone… Probably the sideline antics
I hope Ajax don't draw them .. they are anti-football.
Stevie is still hurt because Atletico humiliated his Loserpool at Shitfield in 2019-20 CL second leg.
Every good story needs a villian
Simeone is the villian of football
I love Simeone because playing in the same league with Barca and Real, and sell so many players and always around . He is champion ? .
Liverpool players also run all day, so do City. Making an effort is not the issue. But being total shithouses and cheating all the time is sickening. I can admire lots of teams other than my own. But like Stevie I can't abide this team or a win at any cost mentality
