Atletico Madrid were able to shock the world as they won the European Super Cup against the current European champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, and were able to thrash them 4-1.
Chelsea were the favourites to come out as winners as Atletico Madrid faced them in the European Super Cup.
However, the Spanish giants were able to shock the world as a hat-trick from Falcao helped http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Simeone’s men to thrash the Blues.
Falcao started the game perfectly, scoring the first goal within six minutes. It didn’t take him much time to double the lead and during the first half of the game, Atletico Madrid were winning 3-0, with all three goals being scored by the Colombian striker.
After the win, Diego Simeone couldn’t help but praise the performance of his players, as he admitted that each and everything went perfect for the Spanish side, and exactly how he planned it out.
Diego Simeone joined the Spanish side last season and since then he has managed to make a significant impact on the team.
However, the impact of the Colombian striker, Falcao, cannot be ignored and there is no doubt that these two men are helping the Spanish club become household name.
While speaking after the fixture against Chelsea, Diego Simeone said:
“I am proud of my players. It was a power opponent and I cannot but thank everyone, they have been extraordinary. They have done everything perfectly. It was as we said. We have succeeded and at times have managed the game to perfection.”
“Simeone has not changed the mentality of this team. They were already winners. That is within everyone. I just let them do it. I found a beaten team when I came here, but a team of men and great players.”
Diego Simeone is now considered to be one of the best coaches in the Spanish La Liga, as Tito Vilanova, Jose Mourinho and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 Bielsa are already on the list.
The Argentinean tactician is expected to lead the Spanish side, Atletico Madrid, to the top four of the Spanish La Liga this season. However, it is going to be a tough task, especially with teams like Malaga, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 in the picture.
