End of scene with the best scenario ever

I don’t know how to explain it to you, but history literally repeated itself today between Ernie Slot and Diego Simeone!

Exactly a year ago, Ernie Slot was coaching Feyenoord and played a match against Simeone in the Champions League. Slot humiliated Simeone to the point that he created six clear scoring opportunities with an expected goal of 2.5 goals, and Simeone didn’t even score an expected goal!

The surprise was that Simeone won that match 3-2, and Slot was so upset that he told Simeone, “I’ll play you again, and you won’t like the result!”

So the same scenario would repeat itself today in the Liverpool vs. Atletico Madrid match. Slot humiliated Simeone to the point that he created seven clear scoring opportunities with an expected goal of 2.5 goals, but this time they won, with the same scoreline, 3-2, and in the last second of the match!

Because at the end of the scene, Simeone really wasn’t satisfied with the result, his nerves lost their control, the referee sent him off, and Arnie Slot got his revenge in the best scenario ever.

I have the utmost respect for everything Simeone has done for Atletico Madrid.

I respect that this man put Atletico on the football map.

But why isn’t there a sensible person at Atletico who knows that after being put on the map, there’s another stage called the stage of championships with a great coach?

Simeone has been in charge of Atletico Madrid for almost 10 years. His last success was the 2021 La Liga title.

Since then, a lot of money has been spent trying to finish third in the league and exit the Champions League early.

The tactical ideas are almost the same, and the philosophy is the same. There’s been almost no change since his arrival.

On top of that, he’s almost the highest-paid coach in Europe.

Atletico and Simeone’s story should have ended long ago and taken a new chapter with a coach like Iraola, for example.

He was taking a break to develop his ideas and return with an Italian team, for example.
