Total confidence in Simeone. Atlético understands that the setback due to the elimination in the Champions League at the hands of Leipzig was a hard hit for the rojiblancos fans, but at the club they understand that it is not something serious for the entity, which would have been the fact of not having classified between the top four in the league championship. At the club they are aware of the possibility that Atlético had to have done something important in this Champions League, but they prefer to turn the page. The objectives set at the beginning of the season have been covered and these are the fundamentals.
Simeone has all the credit in the world for the leaders of Atlético and Cerezo and made an open defense of the Argentine coach when the team left Lisbon the day after 2-1 against Leipzig. Simeone will continue to lead the team and will form a work team with Andrea Berta and Miguel Ángel Gil. In fact, the three held two meetings after the Champions League meeting where the guidelines for Atlético 2020-21 were set. The harmony has been total between the three and there is no reason for it to break.
Simeone will continue as the maximum boss in the sports field and with him Andrea Berta. In some media it was published that he could leave, but the idea of the Italian is not that right now. Atlético has Berta and the sports director, in fact, is working to make the two or three adjustments to the squad. The group will be practically the same.
Adam does not follow and according to the Croatian press he has taken on the services of a goalkeeper of this nationality, Ivo Grbic. A right back will come out between Trippier, Arias and Vrsaljko and there are three players whose future is in the air: Lemar, Vitolo and Herrera. The Mexican was one of those named in the game against Leipzig and the club will hear offers for him. The same thing happens with Lemar. He has not contributed anything throughout the season and Berta works to find an accommodation for him. Vitolo has performed more and better, although it will also depend on the offers that may arrive.
With the key players, Atlético abides by its clauses, at Oblak's 120, Thomas's 50 … The same happens with Saúl, Giménez, Koke. Either clause or nothing. If any of them want to leave, they must bring the clause stipulated in their contracts.
