Atletico Madrid continued their stalemate with a 1-1 draw against Elche. |
On the evening of August 23, Alexander Sorloth brought the home team a perfect start in the 8th minute, when he accurately finished to open the score 1-0. However, Elche quickly equalized in the 15th minute thanks to a goal by Rafa Mir.
Atletico Madrid played a terrible match, even receiving a lot of boos from the stands when they could not beat the weaker team. Coach Diego Simeone could not make a difference, despite trying to make adjustments from the bench.
Previously, in the first round, Simeone's team suffered a shocking 1-2 defeat away to Espanyol. However, they could not find joy when returning to the Metropolitano stadium. After the disappointing draw, coach Simeone admitted: "I think the fans have reason to be angry. The team tried their best to win but could not do it."
"We made a mistake in conceding the goal, it was the team's fault. Atletico attacked, looked for chances, tried. In the end, the opponent was more solid in defense, and we left the pitch with a bitter feeling," the Argentine captain continued.
With only 1 point after the first 2 rounds of La Liga, Atletico Madrid is in danger of being left behind by Barcelona and Real Madrid early in the championship race. Barcelona has 6 points after the first 2 rounds, while Real Madrid also won in round 1.
Although Atletico's board spent 175 million euros this summer to bring in more than 10 new players, the team's performance at the beginning of the season was quite poor. AS commented that, outside of the Premier League clubs, Atletico was the team that spent the most in the top 5 European leagues this season. However, coach Simeone and his team disappointed.
