Simeone and his major challenges after the competition

Simeone has two major challenges once the competition resumes, both domestically and European. The great challenge of the season is for the team to finish LaLiga in the top four. On the other hand, once Liverpoool was eliminated, the rojiblanco team has conspired to try to storm the Champions League again. It seems almost an insult to talk about it with the serious crisis of COVID-19, but Simeone challenges when the ball begins to roll.

The first great objective is for Atlético to finish the league tournament in the top four. Sevilla, with 47 points, is third, and Real Sociedad, with 46, is fourth. Getafe is also 46 and Atlético is sixth, with 45 points. Wiping out two points to Seville does not seem impossible with eleven days ahead, but Simeone's team cannot relax. It is at stake that the club can maintain its current status and from an economic point of view it is vital that the team finish in the top four.

The other big challenge is trying to win the Champions. Atlético eliminated Liverpool against all odds and are among the top eight clubs on the continent. Now the squad does believe that anything is possible. Atlético is two rounds away from playing a new European final and Simeone is a specialist in playing these types of rounds. The squad has conspired to do something very important in Europe.

Another great challenge is to get the most out of the players. João Félix He has performed quite well after returning from his injury and has played a few games at a good level. Simeone knows that he is a different player, he needs him and he wants the Portuguese to finish as a figure. Lemar's case seems complicated. The Frenchman has had many opportunities to perform at a high level, but he has not taken advantage of them. His future seems far from Atlético, although Cholo does not give up. We will see if he can get the most out of him in these remaining games.

There are other challenges at the individual level. Oblak struggles to be the goalless goalkeeper for another year from the league competition and take a new Zamora Trophy. And Atléti wants to continue making Wanda Metropolitano an almost impregnable stadium. Only Barcelona have won there And the idea is to keep making people enjoy the team in home games. Simeone knows that outside she has to improve a lot if she wants to secure that fourth place.
