Simeone admits Atletico needs to change after stuttering start to season

The Hindu  

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has conceded his side need to change things after an unconvincing start to the season. In La Liga the side was defeated 1-0 by lowly Alaves on Saturday, while its stalemate with Porto in its first Champions League Group B game earlier this month means the side has little room for error when it faces AC Milan on Tuesday. "In a lot of the games we've played this season our opponents have stopped us from creating space," Simeone said. Simeone has Thomas Lemar back from a thigh injury for the trip to a stadium he knows well, having spent two years at city rival Inter Milan during his playing days.
