Atlético Madrid is experiencing an unprecedented defensive crisis in the Simeone era. They have conceded 47 goals in 39 games, the worst average since his arrival. Lack of help and intensity are the main issues, according to Llorente.
The team has conceded three or more goals in five games and has kept clean sheets in only twelve. The defense has shown weakness in key games, such as against Athletic. Witsel is considered the best defender of the season, although it’s not his natural position.
Giménez, Hermoso, and Savic have had injury and reliability issues. The Copa is already history and Atlético needs to improve its defense to stay in the top four of the League and be competitive in the Champions. The upcoming game against Inter is crucial.
