The results change the opinion of those who said they were solid followers of Cholismo
You already know how the talk show hosts work The beach bar with situations like Cholo Simeone and the Atletico Madrid. Always in the hottest sun. When all is well Simeone It was him Athletic, nobody was more important than the Argentine coach.
However, now that things are going horribly wrong, everything has changed. Even for believers like Petón, who have always defended the Cholo Simeone above anything. It didn’t matter if they lost, tied or won. Everything was always under blind trust in the Argentine.
Atlético free fall
But now the situation is very serious. Of the last 8 games, 7 have ended in defeat. The options to win 3 titles have gone with a stroke of the pen. Out of the Super Cup at the hands of Athletic, out of the Copa del Rey to fall against Real Sociedad and 16 points behind the leader in the Santander League.
Suddenly, Atlético, which surely has the best squad in its history, has only been left with the Champions League as a way to win a title this year, something that does not seem feasible today. But it is that on top of that he sees how Sevilla and Betis are firm in Champions positions and that FC Barcelona is coming hard for fourth place.
The Chiringuito is primed with Simeone
The embarrassment is of such magnitude that in El Chiringuito no mercy has been had with Simeone. “No one, whatever their name is, is above Atlético de Madrid,” said a Petón who has now gone from always defending Simeone’s speech to directly requesting his dismissal.
A change of discourse that makes it very clear that they do not have much credibility. Before Simeone was essential, even in seasons in which nothing was earned. Now he is the culprit of all the evils and must leave immediately. A classic, unfortunately, in this modern football.
