As for the team's offensive issues, Simeone apparently had been contemplating this for some time. He began, "I've been thinking about this issue all along and have been making adjustments during this period."
"It's difficult to change what we've been consistently doing in just two days. We need to understand our players, but we're still moving in a direction that we believe can make us more balanced."
"Sometimes our direction is correct, but indeed we need more time. The changes won't be significant from Thursday to Sunday."
The match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is on Sunday. This arrangement is obviously made with ratings in mind. For La Liga, such an important match is a "celebration."
In the previous season, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid once, but it was a regret for Simeone that Chen Zhong did not play in that match.
