The seven goals in eight LaLiga matches are not going to change Diego Simeone's course in Atlético. "Do not want to confuse us. That is the way. Do not confuse us. We like pizza. If you like pizza, eat pizza. Do not eat anything else," he revealed about the style of his team, whose scoring statistic It is only better than that of Leganés, Espanyol, Celta, Alavés and Mallorca.
"We have a much better game than other years," El Cholo revealed, in an interview on the Cadena Ser. However, in his opinion, there is still "being able to develop" more of the offensive forcefulness of Diego Costa and Álvaro Morata. "We need them. The two are very important," he said of his pair of strikers, who just accumulate two goals in this league start.
The figures for the rojiblancos have been drastically reduced after the signing of Antoine Griezmann by Barcelona. In fact, the seven goals referred to represent only one third of the 21 signed by Atlético after eight days in 2013 and 2016.
"Restructuring process"
However, Simeone is still clear that "tranquility" for his fans will give "winning, not playing well." "We have a style and there are others who do not," said the former coach of Catania, "convinced" of what he wants and knows "what the team needs", which he set in a construction process after Lucas's departures Hernández, Diego Godín, Filipe Luis, Juanfran Torres and Rodrigo Hernández.
"We are looking to compare with Barcelona, Madrid, Bayern ... We are not in that yet. We are in a process of restructuring ... If people want to see that Joao Felix is Griezmann and Lodi is Filipe when he was 27 years, it is a situation that is not real, "he concluded.
