By scoring seven goals against Rayo Vallecano away from home on Monday night, Atletico Madrid won a significant victory. Although it was their largest away victory in La Liga history, manager Diego Simeone refrained from celebrating.
When Antoine Griezmann opened the scoring in the second minute, Los Colchoneros were in full swing. Two of the primary factors that some consider to make Atletico as dark horses for the La Liga championship this season are his form and the established side they currently have.
Saul Niguez and Pablo Barrios impressed in midfield as Los Rojiblancos zipped the ball around despite the absence of skipper Koke Resurreccion due to injury. Simeone was questioned about if they might now be considered favourites after the game.
“I won’t alter my strategy for a game when we performed very well. Madrid and Barcelona are superior to the competition, and we want to succeed when they falter, he said, according to Diario AS.
He continued by saying that despite having achieved such a significant triumph, he was “never calm.” Additionally, he continued to express his worries about the transfer market’s demise and a potential sizable offer from Saudi Arabia.
I’m sure a player will depart, hopefully not one of ours, he declared.
All summer long, Atletico Madrid’s major goal was to add a deeper midfielder, but in recent weeks, Simeone has shifted his priorities to emphasise keeping all of his squad’s essential players.
It makes sense that Simeone is concerned about losing a player without having time to find a replacement because Atletico will be a force to be reckoned with in this configuration. They have a fair possibility of being present if Real Madrid and Barcelona falter assuming they maintain their squad together.
