Atlético de Madrid never leaves anyone indifferent, both on and off the field. Diego Pablo Simeone's men have made it clear throughout their history that they want to continue growing. That's why they have been able to achieve so many successes on the field, especially since the Argentinean coach arrived at the Atlético bench.
One of the few highlights of last season —a very complex one— is the qualification for the new Club World Cup. Thanks to a series of circumstances, Atlético de Madrid was the other Spanish team to qualify. This way, they beat their main rival in the regularity tournament in our country, FC Barcelona.
Someone who was part of their ranks has spoken out on this matter, which is relevant for the red and whites, whose economic aspect is essential. This is the case of Sergio 'El Kun' Agüero, who jumped to Europe with the Metropolitano. With his last words, it has become clear what he thinks of who was his team not so long ago.
Kun Agüero Opens up about Atlético De Madrid
In an interview with FIFA, the former Manchester City and FC Barcelona player spoke candidly about Atlético de Madrid. More specifically, about whether Diego Pablo Simeone 's team, who are in good form, deserve to be in the Club World Cup or not. Without a doubt, his words, as usual, will not leave anyone indifferent in the capital club.
“Playing in this tournament means a lot to Atlético de Madrid because I think they deserve it. They have been doing very well. It won’t be easy because every game is quite complicated these days, but I think Atlético is a very tough team, very strong defensively.”
Agüero is full of praise for Atlético and Simeone
Another point he wanted to review during the interview was the figure of Diego Pablo Simeone, with whom he didn't coincide. Despite this, he didn't hesitate to praise the Argentine coach, who wants to get more out of his players. This way, ' Kun ' Agüero has once again made clear what he thinks about his compatriot at the head of Atlético.
“ Cholo has been there for many years, he knows the club and the team very well. I think they will be in contention at the FIFAClub World Cup. They have already shown that, they have always reached the final stages, despite not winning it.”
“At least they are among the best clubs in the world, that is clear,” said the former Atlético player. He also reviewed the transfer market of Atlético de Madrid, which has taken a step forward in this regard. It is worth highlighting what the former Independiente player thinks about the movements that have been made from Madrid.
Agüero and the arrival of Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid
“With the arrival of Julián they will have more ability to counterattack and will be able to hurt teams.” He pointed out that the arrival of ' La Araña ', who extended his good form against Mallorca, will be another point in favor of Atlético de Madrid. This is another piece of good news for the red and white team, who want to continue growing in all competitions.
