Atletico Madrid needs to make changes to compete for third place by the end of the season, and letting the previous two matches play out will make it difficult for them to perform consistently.
Sometimes teams don't start the season smoothly, and they'll constantly try to fix any shortcomings, and that's often the case with Atletico Madrid.
While I'm confident they can reach the top three by the end of the season, the team's weaknesses need to be addressed immediately by the coach, because if it continues it will make it difficult for them to catch up to the big three position..
as many say the problem is that the coach still can't understand that he has to change and buy better players to be able to compete with other teams, teams like Real Madrid or Barcelona, in terms of acquired phenomena, are clearly superior.
Though many people out there will not buys into my sentiment about this atletico madrid team, but in my own honest opinion, it think that Diego Simeone has nothing new to offer this atletico madrid side again, he has given his best and with all the troubles and inconsistency at Barcelona and real madrid over the years he can't even deliver the Spanish laliga or anything tangible for this atletico madrid team, this shows that the team has been stagnant and now it's regressing to a even difficult state, that's why I will be gunning for a change if I were to be making the decisions at atletico madrid because Diego Simeone no longer have anything to offer this atletico madrid team, unless they are very ok on being a mediocre club, if not, he should be sack without delay.
A new coach with an attacking mindset needs to come into this atletico madrid side because being too defensive is no longer rewarding as in the past.
