Madrid, Nov 9 (EFE).- Diego Simeone, the coach of Atlético de Madrid, renewed this Thursday for three more years, from 2024 to 2027, exudes ambition, he wants “more” at the red and white club, as he conveyed in a conversation published by the entity’s official channels with Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, CEO and who promised to “continue investing in the team and the impossible” to make “so many people happy.”
“Commit myself in the same way that I have committed myself since the first day I arrived. The footballers know that we want to win and we have a group of boys who are convinced that we can do it. And we have to help them from yours and mine to that we can be strong on those four legs with our fans,” said Simeone.
“We have also regenerated. We played one way at one time and today the team has evolved to another type. The team asks us to play this way. And I want more. You know that I want more. Hopefully we can reach all the goals we have,” the coach continued during the conversation.
“Thank you once again. This renewal is very important to me, because we are still behind a project that started many years ago. Thank you for trusting me and us. Above all, all the people who accompanied us in all this time, which also made us able to continue and generate everything we have generated. I feel happy where I am and I am very excited,” said the Argentine coach.
“Fifteen years is an outrage for the way the sector is. It’s crazy,” Gil Marín explains at the beginning, in reference to the period of time that Simeone will serve at the head of Atlético, since his signing on December 23, 2011 to revive a team. in crisis, who wandered through the League, which was still searching for its place and its greatness lost years before.
“What I thought was, what do we need? The team was doing poorly, we came from a previous roller coaster on the issue of stability and I always dreamed of having stability, because I knew that with stability I could help the club grow and without stability it was impossible. And “There is one necessary fact: the results. There is no other,” recalled Gil Marín.
“And in that moment of confusion I thought who can help us achieve both. One, results, due to his character. Two, the trust and values that can be generated around a club. I remembered a conversation I had had with you in Buenos Aires , in San Lorenzo. I stayed with that conversation,” he recalled.
“Toni called me (his friend and teammate at Atlético as a player, at the request of Gil Marín) and told me Miguel Ángel wants to talk to you and there is a great possibility of being able to come. And in my head, it had been three years since “I was thinking about this appearing. When you called me and told me to ‘help us’ I no longer cared about anything else. ‘We need you to help us’. The talk ended there. I came with energy and a desire to be here.” Simeone intervened.
“There has never been a better decision for the history of the club,” remarked Gil Marín, who highlighted how Simeone “in a decade” was able to “change the history of the club.” “It is clear that the history of this wonderful club is changing and I think we are going to continue doing so,” he added.
“It’s crazy. Twelve years today in Europe there is no other case. The mutual trust that exists, but above all the results rule. It has accompanied us. God willing that we continue with them,” continued the CEO of Atlético.
“I always wanted to come to Atlético. I prepared myself so that the opportunity that I imagined could appear. Think about the day to day. We cannot get away from the day to day, from the famous match by match of that dinner in the first days,” he said. Simeone transmitted.
“It is very important to constantly remember where we come from. I do it every day. When you remember the instability that the club was experiencing at that time and I value what we have today, every day I thank God,” said Gil Marín, who advocated for “never forget everything” that has “cost them to get here.”
“We have to continue taking care of it. We have something important ahead of us, which is to take care of all this that could be generated and add things to it,” Simeone said.
“We don’t have to set limits or ceilings,” stressed Gil Marín.
