Enrique Cerezo, the strong man of Atlético, wanted to defend his coach after the elimination wiped in C1 by his team.
Diego Simeone has been entitled to critical acids since Thursday night and the Champions League exit against Leipzig. The Argentinian technician was particularly singled out for his minimalist style of play and his inability to make his training shine. Attacks that were not to the taste of Enrique Cerezo, the strong man of Atlético.
“Buy your own club and make your team”
The president of the Matelassiers thus flew to the aid of El Cholo the day after this elimination. For him, to put his coach on trial would quickly forget everything he brought to the club. “A lot of people criticized him last night. The one who makes the team compositions is him. And the one who discusses his choices should buy a team and do his compositions. But let Simeone do it.” he indicated.
Despite this misstep against Leipzig and the end of continental illusions, Cerezo judges the season of his training as successful. “I think we had a very good season, we stayed in the top three of the championship and we were in the quarterfinals of the Champions League“, he recalled.
As a reminder, Simeone has been in charge of training in Madrid since the 2011/2012 financial year. A record within this club. He notably guided this team to a title of champion ofSpain and two Champions League finals.
