Atletico have been under-performing this season, with Atletico only fifth in La Liga after 22 league rounds, and even Roma's underperforming Barca this season by 2 points. Moreover, in the just-concluded atletico match against Barca, Atletico also lost 2-4 to Barca. Is this still the iron-blooded Atletico in the previous fans' perception? Definitely not, so what went wrong with Atletico? What's the problem? Recently, the European media goals network analyzed the main reasons for Atletico's recent poor performance.
First of all, there is a problem with Atletico's backline, atletico have conceded 30 goals after 22 rounds of this season, and atletico have only kept two clean sheets in the last 13 games, which also shows that atletico's backline is a big problem, and it is important to know that in the past few seasons, Atletico has conceded only this number of goals in a single season. Why didn't the team's defense work? This reflects the second problem, Atletico's dressing room has lacked a leader since The departure of Gabi and Godin, and the team's iron spirit is far less than before. Previously, Godin and Gabi were the spiritual leaders of Atletico, and with them, Atletico's players would not give up and would give up for the game, and now Atletico has no such leader.
Of course, Atletico has a third problem, according to the analysis of the goals network, Atletico's reinforcements in recent years have not been successful, from Felix for 126 million euros to Lemar for 70 million euros, to 26 million Cunha Atletico Many new signings have not been able to play their own value, which is also one of the main reasons for Atletico's poor performance. And the fourth and final reason is that Atletico's offensive end has also been muted this season, Atletico's offensive end paper strength is very luxurious, but they are obviously not in form, Suarez has had a long ball shortage this season, Griezmann's state is far worse than before, the defensive end is not performing well, and now the offensive end players are not in good shape, and it will not be surprising that Atletico are in this position.
I have to say that the current performance of Atletico is really not good. But then again, any team will have a high light period and a low period, which is an eternal law. I just don't know when Simeone will be able to get Atletico to find his former form? At present, there are still more than a dozen rounds of matches before the end of the league, and if the team cannot be quickly put on track, I am afraid that Atletico will not be able to qualify for the Champions League next season. I just don't know, how many places do you think Atletico will be able to finish at the end of the season?
