Atletico Madrid doesn't seem ready for the big games this season because how can they be missing out on good points when the season just kickoff? If Los Colchoneros are losing stands and points in this early phase of La Liga then I wonder what they will do when it's mid-season, how will they be able to cope? Games are played and elite teams have targets, they're not dropping any charge other than facing themselves with formidable stands and leaning on big winnings. Barcelona and Real Madrid are enchancing their performances for this season, definitely not the time to give excuses rather pushing for outstanding results.
I am really disappointed with Atletico Madrid's performance. I did not expect this performance with their name. They still lack a striker and they lack an attacking spirit. In both matches they were not able to score more than 1 goal and were not able to get full points. Although they were attacking, I will blame their attack department. Because their finishing is not good or not enough to score goals. Since the end of last season till now they have not been having a good time or they are not able to give something good to the fans. This is definitely a matter of concern and concern. Losing points in the first two matches of the season will definitely hurt the team's morale.
What do you expect from a club that only ever focuses on the top four? Atletico is one of the big clubs and that cannot be denied, but they lack a strong mentality, which ultimately means they are stuck in a situation where they can only follow Barcelona and Real Madrid but are unable to apply enough pressure to make the season different.
In the first two matches, there was nothing to take away except for a monotonous performance, but this is the hallmark of Atletico that never changes—they only make the same breakthroughs every season with Simeone's monotonous tactics.
I don't know why Atletico still insists on keeping Simeone as coach, especially since their performance has drastically declined in recent seasons. While they couldn't overtake Madrid and Barcelona before, at least they could still compete. Now, such expectations are far from reality.
