Atletico Madrid CEO: The start of the new season is disappointing. I still trust Simeone 200%

Atletico Madrid CEO Jill Marin admitted that the team's start of the season was disappointing considering its strong investment in new players, but said he still trusted coach Simeone 200%.

Gill Marin said: "The expectations brought by investment are currently having a disappointing start, which is true, but I have no doubt that we will continue to stick to what we have done over the years - stay competitive because the team has talent and the coach is full of passion."

Atletico Madrid has 6 points after 5 rounds of La Liga, 9 points behind Real Madrid, and lost 2-3 to Liverpool in the first round of the Champions League group stage.

Gill Marin said that the club still trusts Simeone: "I still trust him 200% because I see that he has not reduced his passion and belief to continue competing. All we need to do is to continue competing with our own style and values, which will not change."

"Five games will not shake us. We have invested nearly 200 million euros in players in the past two years. It is very difficult to achieve what we are now. It has entered the Champions League group stage for 12 consecutive years, and only 5 clubs have done it. It is extremely difficult."
