The day after rojiblanca’s first and only defeat at Liga, The players took much longer than usual to go out for training. I was not playing the gym , but listening to Simeoni To become aware of what happened. The technician had interpreted the previous stumble in Lisbon Like one bad night of Metropolitan Before Night As a result of lack of strength. But what I couldn’t stand was the picture displayed in Villamar ocean, Far from what is expected of an athlete from Cholo.
The problem was not losing to him. Betis, But the form. Fault tolerance, but not the absence of Identity signs That always distinguished his team. It was not a question of playing, more or less failing, but of not crossing a series of red lines. That’s why he played Look at each other in the face and make things clear.
He was in Seru, In the room where employees usually gather to conduct video sessions. Some of the actions of the match were reviewed , but above all they spoke directly about the problems seen in front of Betis that, more than the game itself, affected Red and white DNA.
Non-negotiable principles
It was non-negotiable to be a team again, Give priority to the group Before each one goes to war on his own and, first of all, find the comrade, go out to save the next one in every action. Playing as Block, Fight as a block. To become strong again and grow from there.

Finally, with the images of the party he supported, he was conveying the need for Taking responsibility, Not to hide with and without the ball and, from Humility Always, to impose The hierarchy Presumably some players like those from Atletico.
All that was said and done. This one Modern, Which was the starting point for Seven consecutive victories How Atletico looks today, he changed everything.
