Atlético did not get any further than 1-1 against the promoted Elche on Saturday, after having suffered a defeat against Espanyol in the first league match. Simeone expressed his frustration against Elche himself after an unrequired penalty in the injury time, which earned him a yellow card.
‘The fans are right’
“The fans are right. We are just as frustrated about the results as they are,” said Simeone. “We have given everything to win the game and that did not work. I am convinced that we will achieve the results we want alone, patience and hard work.”
