Can Atletico Madrid really improve this season? This is one of the topics I'm curious about. It is really important for Simeone's future with this team as well. If we see a similar performance this season as well then the board might not want to extend Simeone's contract. They should be able to stay in the title race somehow.
In the same way I hope to see them achieving a decent success in the Champions League as well. I already see them in last 16. However I think they should be able to reach at least the quarter finals. If they have a solid season like this then I'm pretty sure Simeone would be kept by them.
Atletico Madrid are good in starting well, but once the season get to the middle then you will begin to see them reducing points that will make them not to recover till the end of the tournament. I think they started with some new strategies, which if they can maintain this new strategies through out the tournament, they will make a good record from champions league and la Liga league competition because it look like their coach has discovered their mistakes that is making them not to display well at the end of the tournament. I think the season is still new for someone to predict for Atletico Madrid to reach quarter finals, because there are many teams that are well prepared to dominate through out the season to frustrate some teams in this season.
It's hard to predict it. Atletico might perform so well in la liga but this club was always showing opposite thing on UCL. It likes atletico madrid was always losing its best performance once it was playing in UCL. The chance for atletico madrid to go to the play off was quite big consider it was not in a tough group. Simeone never had a very big target for UCL being able to go to the playoff or last 16 already great achievement for atletico madrid. This club was always losing on the group stage. Im feeling optomistic if simeone will make it to go to the play off stage.
Atletico was in the same group with lazio, feyenoord and celtic. The chance to go to the playoff is big. The club needs only to perform consistently in la liga and UCL.
Simeone is always trying to make sure its club will not be exhausted caused by the busy schedule will be faced by atletico madrid. The upcoming match against Sevilla is something I'm really looking forward to, and I'm eagerly awaiting it.
