Atletico Madrid chief executive, Miguel Angel Gil has come out to urge fans to back under-fire manager, Diego Simeone despite the team’s current struggles. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, even if he admits that the team’s Champions League exit was a failure, the season is not over yet, and there are still chances to win trophies.
Miguel added that the club directors, coaches and players are all responsible for the current poor form, and they’ll all fix it together.
His words, “I don’t want to justify our bad performance in this Champions League,”
“We’re all aware that it has been a failure and we must have the humility to recognise that… All of us who form part of the club — directors, coaches and players — are responsible for it and we accept it. It’s a moment for self-criticism, to analyse the mistakes made and make up for them as soon as possible.”
“Although the disappointment this year is great, we can’t lose perspective. This group, with Diego Simeone as coach, have made us enjoy the targets we’ve achieved over the last, successful decade, and deserve our respect and trust to achieve the important objectives we still have this season.”
“The season isn’t over. We’re third in LaLiga and we’ll soon begin our participation in the Copa del Rey… Unity is our great strength, and we can’t lose it.”
