Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone has insisted that he would try to win back the support of the fans via actions and not words.
After their defeat vs 3rd-tier Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey this week, Atleti were held to a 0-0 draw today vs Leganes, a team that started the day bottom of LaLiga.
With zero victories and only one goal in their last 4 games in all competitions, doubts have been raised concerning the manager’s future at the club.
Their next La Liga clash is vs Real Madrid and a loss against their rivals will only increase cries for his sack, but Diego is ready to prove that he can save Atletico’s season.
His words, “I can’t say anything to the people [who do not have faith],”
“All I can do is show them through actions, not words. Words mean nothing.
“I’m respectful with everybody. I was whistled because I wasn’t doing well in my second spell at the club [as a player]. The fans are critical when the team doesn’t win. And it’s for me to find solutions to that.
“The first thing we need to do is to get back working. After that, I’ll make my decisions based on what I feel is best for the team. We have a week to return to peace and calm, which is something you need in football.
“I have a great squad and a few lads are expected back from injury this week. On Saturday, we will be going out with the hope of winning the match.”
“The public get you going, they get involved and do their part in encouraging the team,”
“We’ve just played two games away from home that didn’t turn out well and the fans were good today.
“On other days, you can easily end up losing games like this. We could have won the game in the second half.”
