Is the fate between Simeone and Atletico Madrid over?

In the 5th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid drew with Mallorca away. In the five La Liga and one Champions League so far this season, the Bedding Army won only one game, and the pressure of Simeone can be imagined.

Rebuild the lineup, and the new team cannot win the relegation team. In the past summer, Atletico Madrid spent 190 million euros to upgrade the lineup. Hanzko, Rugeri, Mark Powell, Baenna, Cardozo, Almada, Laspadori and Nicholas Gonzalez became guests of the Metropolitan Stadium. Since the start of the new season, Atletico Madrid has lost points in the relegation team (Espanyol, Elche, Alaves and Majorca), only defeating Villarreal, and was defeated by Liverpool after coming to the Champions League.

There are too many scraps, and Simeone has no choice. Since Simeone took office, Atletico Madrid has invested in large-scale signings in the summer window several times, but these luxury purchases are generally not cost-effective. When the club is not as attractive as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​most of the players introduced by Atletico Madrid have the nature of "scratch materials". They must be in the right system and around star players to play a role. Simeone needs to combine a brand new lineup in a short period of time to solve the style conflict caused by the influx of new players. The difficulty can be imagined.

Power changes, Spider-Little Scarlett faces the test

With Griezmann aging, the only superstar in Atletico Madrid is Alvarez. After last season's highlight performance, Alvarez won the recognition of public opinion. Simeone's big move this summer is entirely a reconstruction around the striker. In the past, during his time in River Plate, Manchester City and Argentina national team, Alvarez was positioned as a "first mate". Now that he has truly become the core of a giant family, he needs to prove that he has the ability to lead the team at the superstar level.
