Simeone vows to win back support after Atletico draw

The Hindu  

Diego Simeone insists he will only try to win back support "through actions, not words" after another disappointing day for Atletico Madrid. Beaten by third-tier Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey this week, Atleti was held to a 0-0 draw on Sunday at home to Leganes, a team that started the day bottom of La Liga. Defeat in the derby to Real Madrid next Saturday will only intensify calls for the head coach to leave, but Simeone is determined to show he can salvage Atleti's season. Simeone refused to criticise the Wanda Metropolitano fans for their support on Sunday and stressed Atleti could have won the game had it shown a more clinical edge in the second half.
