Simeone: "The passion… Never lose that, no matter how the team does" | OneFootball

This weekend, Atlético de Madrid commemorates the Day of the Supporters' Clubs, with a series of events in which Simeone participated and sent a message to the fans. A day that recognized the red-and-white supporters' clubs celebrating their 25th and 50th anniversaries this season; an event that also served to welcome newly created clubs and to honor the 75 years of history of our oldest supporters' club: the Peña Atlética Chamberí. There, Simeone, before speaking to the Atlético fans, wanted to «congratulate the supporters' clubs celebrating 25, 50, and also 75 years«.

After that, he took the floor and said: «Just to explain something that matters to me and you need to feel«. It was then that a profound silence fell over the auditorium of the Metropolitano Stadium and he stated: «The energy you generate. The energy you generate, you don't realize it and we need it. We are at a moment where many new guys have joined the team and these new guys need to feel what they were told when they were on other teams and came here, and they said Atlético, its people, its stadium, its passion… Don't lose that, no matter how the team performs. Don't lose that because it's yours and it's non-negotiable anywhere. Thank you very much«.
