Simeone happy with Atletico backbone

Diego Simeone believes Atletico Madrid are in good shape for the start of the season despite mixed friendly results.

Atletico were beaten on penalties by Club America of Mexico after a goalless draw, but Simeone believes that when Atleti’s forward players are with the squad, they’ll have a dangerous attack to go with their solid foundations.

“We’re working from lowest to highest. Now we return to Madrid and we will find another group working and slowly putting together games to prepare for the season,” AS reports Simeone as saying.

“Today the structure is the same as the last three years. The offensive potential of the team is in Madrid and will surely make us better offensively.

“But the structure of the team is most important for the team and ours is solid.”
