Atletico Eliminated By Cornella's 3rd Division Team In The Copa Del Rey, This Is Simeone's Reaction

JAKARTA - Atletico Madrid suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Segunda B (Division 3) Cornella team in the Copa del Rey, Thursday, January 7 in the morning. Coach Diego Simeone is resigned to his future.

Atleti have struggled in the Copa del Rey in recent years. Simeone insists he will try to improve next season, as long as he is still at the club in the Spanish capital.

"We will look for a solution next year if I am still here," said Simeone as quoted by Marca.

"Football is very changeable, but you have to be open to all possibilities. We have to be open to whatever the club decides," he continued.

The 0-1 away defeat to Cornella was one of Simeone's worst results as an Atletico coach. However, he did not hesitate to praise his opponent.

"We always try to win but the opponents are better, like last year. We had chances but they started really well," Simeone said.

"When they are better than you, you have to congratulate them," he added.

In last night's match, the coach from Argentina made several changes to the starting eleven. However, he would not consider the players who played to waste this opportunity.

"It's too early to give an opinion, emotions now are about results," says Simeone.

"They all give their all, but sometimes it works and sometimes not too much," concluded the former captain of Team Tango.
