Atletico indeed started the season poorly. The draw against Elche and the defeat to Espanyol are clearly results that were not expected. If Simeone can quickly improve performance and build the team's confidence throughout this season, he might be retained. But if his performance in the first half of the season does not improve, he may indeed have to be replaced.
This is not an ideal situation for Atletico Madrid at the moment, as they were defeated by Espanyol and held to a draw by Elche at their own stadium, showing that their performance at the start of the season has not been good enough and that they are facing difficulties. Despite their dominant play, it seems Simeone’s strategy is still not effective and is failing to deliver optimal results, leaving Atletico Madrid looking lackluster and unable to capitalize on the significant opportunities they have created.
They face another match this Saturday against Alavés, where Atletico Madrid should aim to perform better. However, if things remain the same, their chances of competing at the top of the table will continue to diminish early in the season.
Athletico Madrid doesn't have the opportunity to defeat Elche and they end in a draw. This season is not really good for Athletico Madrid this time. What a poor start of the season for the coach, he need to improve better if he really what to end up on 4th this season In the league. I think Athletico Madrid have sigh many players and they need to perform better. but I see they are finding it difficult to win matches this time. This season just started let see if they will improve more better and start performing good in the league competition. The way they are playing currently i don't really sure if they will do well in the Champions League this season. Let see if they will improve better in the rest matches in the league competition. I think Athletico Madrid need to stop playing defensive pattern so that they can win many matches in other competitions, he make it difficult for them to break other clubs defense because they are not attacking.
