Simeone: Atletico Madrid will face the Club World Cup in its best condition and need to continue to work hard to improve stability

Atletico Madrid coach Simeone said after a 4-0 victory over Girona at the end of the season that although the league has ended, the team will make every effort to prepare for the Club World Cup, emphasizing that "working and working again" is the key to improving stability. He affirmed the positive aspects of the season, pointed out the problem of insufficient performance in key battles, and showed a clear understanding of the future.

Talking about this game, Simeone believed that "high temperature practical combat is an excellent drill for the Club World Cup": "The climate in the United States and the noon game arrangement allow us to adapt to the rhythm of the Club World Cup in advance. The team went from temptations in the early stages of the game to injecting energy through substitutions and finally locked in the victory through efficient counterattacks. The goals of Sollot and Lenglet reflect the depth of the lineup." Data shows that Atletico Madrid's "stealing conversion rate" in this game is as high as 33%, continuing the characteristics of "defense counterattack victory" this season.

Reviewing the performance of the season, Simeone affirmed the "offensive firepower and defensive honor" while pointing out the shortcomings of "key battle stability": "The loss against Getafe became a turning point, and the game in which Barcelona was reversed 2-0 exposed psychological fluctuations." Despite this, he particularly praised Alvarez: "As a player who can score goals, he is willing to be an assist. This team spirit is priceless for Atletico Madrid. His 'average of 2.1 points per game Key passes revitalize the offense, and we will build a more three-dimensional tactic around him. "

Regarding Sollot's "super substitute" role, Simeone responded to the controversy: "He scored 20 goals in limited playing time, and his efficiency is enough to prove his value. Whether it is a starting or a substitute, his fulcrum and finishing ability are important weapons for the team. We are full of expectations for this future to be able to achieve this in the first season."

Looking forward to the Club World Cup, Simeone emphasized "zero slack preparation": "There is no real rest in the football world, and the opponent is still improving when you stop. We will reassemble on June 2 to conduct special training for 'physical fitness allocation in high temperature' and 'opponent analysis'. Regardless of whether the players stay or not, the team will use 'winning the championship' as the only goal - this is not only a commitment to the fans, but also a reflection of Atletico Madrid's spirit."

This season, Atletico Madrid has "League 3+109 team history No. 1 The second high school goal ended, but Simeone's summary was full of crisis: "We are getting closer to the championship, but every step requires stricter self-requirement. From tactical details to psychological construction, from main players to youth training training, "continuous work" is the only answer." This statement is not only an incentive to the team, but also an indication of possible "linear fine adjustment" this summer - after all, in the fiercely competitive La Liga and Champions League, any slackness may make "hope to compete for the championship" fleeting.

When Simeone walked to the locker room, the tactical board in her hand was densely filled with analysis of the Club World Cup opponents. For him, the end of the league is not the end, but the starting point of another journey of "fighting for honor" - as he often said: "There is no 'satisfaction' in Atletico Madrid's dictionary, only 'next champion'." And this persistence may be the ultimate code for this iron-blooded army to stand among the powerful after years.
