Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has come out to hail his players despite bowing out of the Club World Cup. He recently revealed that he is proud of the efforts his boys put in throughout the tournament, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, poor officiating is the reason his team crashed out of the tournament very early, and he is super proud of his players for giving everything on the pitch.
Simeone added that having a penalty decision overturned after a VAR review proves that officiating is still a major problem for the game.
His words, “Proud of the boys’ work. We gave absolutely everything we had. We won two out of three matches and even so, sadly we’re out.
With six points, it wasn’t bad, but the match against PSG condemned us, where every refereeing decision always went against us. Today’s game also had a penalty decision overturned after a VAR review. It’s more of the same. We know what we need to improve, and this will help us move forward.”
WOW.
