He was not happy after the meeting. And frankly, Diego Simeone can be angry at the performance of his Atlético de Madrid, swept away yesterday afternoon in the league by Valencia (3-0). Before a perilous trip to Lazio Rome in the Champions League, this setback clearly did not come at the best of times.
Asked about his team’s performance after the match, El Cholo was not kind to his players: “Valencia was superior and did what was necessary, we played the weakest match since I arrived at the club and to congratulate the opponent, they knew not to let us progress, to take advantage of the spaces.» As a reminder, Simeone has been the Colchoneros coach since 2011.
