Diego Simeone has done a amazing job at the club they won La Liga last season. But maybe it's for Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid to go there separate ways at end of the season. Atletico Madrid need a manager with fresh ideas. Diego Simeone can go to another club like Ac Milan and help them.
Suarez need to play even on wheelchair
Atletico needs a world class defender
I'm an Atleti fan and I wanted to say something for a while but I decided to not but after last night's performance I think Simeone needs to do something especially about his tactics. I know he likes to defend and counter attack and all the other things that we all know but right now it's not working so he needs to look for a solution. Real played great and with precision, they didn't rush and had less mistakes which resulted in a win.
For those who will say that I'm not a fan by saying these things, whether you're a fan or not you have to be honest which is one of the keys to success. I also want to point out that Koke was awful in the derby
Ronaldo will RUIN Atletico ?
Alexis Nunes is my Karim Benzema. She's cute!
Aletico Madrid hasn't Even digest the 2-0 loss to Real Madrid that they found out they will be facing Bayern Munich ???
ESPN FC's logic:
Real Madrid with 8 defenders in box and counter attacking – brilliant play and good strength
Atletico Madrid with 8 defenders in box and counter attacking – garbage, dirty and ugly play of old era
Mr. Conductor talks too much and Real shut him up!! ????✋Vamos Hala Madrid
That squad is a title challenging squad, Simeone tactics getting caught up
It can be done. Mourinho's Chelsea sides during his first term had a rock solid defense and creative, attacking heft.
La Liga is such a boring league
Laliga is over
Congrats real
I don't get how Simeone is the highest paid manager when the only reason that he wins games are his players quality
They are talking as if real didn't win the last couple of matches against athletico
Yes yes everyone allowed us . The 13 champions league too
Not a laliga fan but recently I have hated Atletico Madrid and you all agree with me
Definitely he is overrated he didn't show anything against real madrid anyway LALIGA is trash league and weak where Madrid can walk over any team
Espn uk really hates Real madrid dont know why, Real madrid won but these clowns worried about atleticos loss..
Now Simeone really underperforming with this squad
A part from real madrid most of the Laliga teams are Avreage
League is now already over for him
Atletico is a very good team. They just need to spend another 500m to be at the level of Real. And along the way double Simeone's pay so that we can see him fit all 11 players in thier own penalty box.
Sevilla will catch these ref speed Merchants.
They can just Ask Espanol.
I think real Madrid did a good job for Barcelona. Now the gap between Barcelona and top 4 is not too far. Only 5 points separating them
RM will win the League no doubt about that.
Overwhelming Performance by Madrid ??
Real will not crumble like Atleti last season,they will slip up here and there,but they should win la liga comfortably
this is super hilarious. Diego just won the laliga last year? and this year every one is asking him to leave? wow….. cant believe every fans is getting so impatience nowadays or so cold hearted. This guy won laliga in a impossible fashion from Barcelona and RM. And he reached Championsleague final twice. Now all these have been forgotten easily just because this year his football seems abit weird. Last few seasons his football is still being praised for being defensive compact etc etc. Now all of a sudden he became the worst manager.
Summary:?Everyone was allowed to do what happened.
Atlético and Simeone need to part ways. I think Simeone needs to go to another club that he could elevate to one of the best in Europe, perhaps Juventus or Manchester United. Atlético need a more forward thinking manager who suits this squads strengths, someone like Ten Haag or Marcelo Gallardo. It’s been an incredible 10 years, and he has turned a mid-table club into a European powerhouse, but I think their cycle has reached its end. I’m a RM fan and they’ve always been the toughest matches we had to play.
ESPN anti-madrid
Athletics fans idk how you guys hope for anything ?
Yea when RM scores……They are allowed to do that !!!! If Atletico would have scored ….. what a beautiful team play !!!!!!!
Man City should try to sign Joao Felix. Man just been wasted at Atletico
I have nothing but respect for Simeone and Atletico Madrid…
I think most of football wants this to fail for him and for Joao Felix to be freed. Unless you have a soft spot for Atleti then for me Simeone is a scar on football and I really enjoyed watching Casemiro and Modric walk the dog on them.
And this guy said barca has better squad compared to real madrid before the start of the season ?
They have bottled it. I really cant see Real Madrid bottle the lead now
la liga is the land of the blind being led by one eyed man ( RM), while Am is the man with perfectly good eyes but wearing beautiful glasses (simeone)that keep impairing your vision
Wait and see what we are going to do on champions league
As a diehard Madrid fan for 20plus yrs now I have been thinking a lot and decided to throw this question out there for answers. How are we going to cope when Modric is gone cos it seems our midfield struggles to create or control games when he’s not playing. I don’t see any replacement currently in the team or football world
I honestly can't believe Diego Simeone is the worlds best paid manager…. It's absolutely shocking
Hala Madrid ?
Now I'm dying to draw Chelsea so we can show everyone who's the real boss in Europe.
They will make top 4 don't disrespect us
Modric great performance
As a Barca fan I'm just gonna say this now
I won't be surprised if Vinicius ends up having a higher ceiling than Ansu tbh. I'm not preeing that but as of now it looks so. Ansu is too unlucky with injuries
mid December & Conor Gallagher has as many league goals this season as Kane, Aubameyang & Messi combined
