Atletico Madrid must have very big trust in Diego Simeone to have him continue at the club for 14 years and achieving little in this period of time or could it be that he has something with the club that holds him bound to that position for this long time? The club has backed him up properly with good signings this summer so hopefully there will be no excuses for failure this time.
It doesn't make sense to keep a coach who hasn't delivered any results for the club he been with for over a decade. Other teams are adapting to modern play, and even coaches who fail for one or two seasons are replaced to bring about change. Atletico Madrid is an exception, and it seems there something special between Simeone and the club owner.To be honest I don't see Atletico Madrid having the ambition to compete for the La Liga title. How boring La Liga would be if it were just Madrid and Barcelona all the time.
The Madrid match will start in an hour, and they have already released their starting lineup. Mastantuono is also expected to get playing time in today opening match.
