MADRID, 21 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The coach of Atlético de Madrid, Diego Pablo Simeone, has assured that they are working on “balancing the needs of some footballers”, who have asked to leave the club in this transfer market, with “what the team needs”, and hopes to break the team's “trend” away from home this Monday against Granada at the Nuevo Los Cármenes (9:00 p.m.).
“We are working as we always do, with Andrea -Berta-, Miguel -Ángel Gil Marín-, Enrique -Cerezo-, and we think about the possibility of the boys who can leave, there are some hanging around. We have to wait until the end of the market to see if we can balance the needs of a footballer and what the club and the team need,” he declared at a press conference.
However, the Argentine coach did not reveal whether there will be any changes in defense. “We talk in general about everything that can happen, and from that also about the situations that we could improve as a team, which is the most important thing we need,” he said.
On the other hand, 'Cholo' believes that the fact that the team has not won away from home for three months is simply a “trend.” “They are trends. Last season we struggled at home and we were better away, and back in January-February we started to change that trend, we improved at home and stayed away. We hope that something similar will happen this season,” he said.
“I focus on the rival, who has had better home games than away from home. They have just lost 1-0 against Betis in a tight game, they have the needs they have and we have the needs we have. We must continue in the same line, improve the aspects that we have to continue improving and I am not getting out of that situation,” he continued.
Finally, he warned of the danger of trusting in a second round of LaLiga EA Sports that is presumed “tight.” “Real Sociedad, Athletic and Girona's moment make the 'Champions' start to be more complex this season. We will have to push game by game, that will generate a tighter finish than what has normally been the case in recent years.” years,” he concluded.
