The rojiblancos represent a year that could prove pivotal for seasons to come.
JAVIER DE PAZ.- The Atletico Madrid left a restless one 2022 in which he has lived through several sporting crises, and faces many open unknowns in a year that stinks decisive in the short and medium term for the setting.
These are the challenges of the rojiblanco team in 2023
social stability
Certainly the main goal of everything ahead, even more than sports results. The rift between the rojiblanca fans is more latent than ever, with some of the fans against the continuity of ‘Cholo’ Simeonand. The Metropolitan has found itself in a hotbed more than once this season chants and subsequent whistles. A tense climate that has only grown in recent months.
Cup del Rey
The only chance to win a title in the 2022/2023 season that Atlético has left. A match they have also not been able to win since 2012/2013, when they defeated Real Madrid in the final at the Bernabéu. With many rounds to go, the rojiblancos know that a triumph would be to give it a dodge and finish with a good taste in the mouth in a campaign that turns into a real rollercoaster.
The defense
What was Simeone’s Atlético password has completely lost its power, Being a team that gets too many chances and in which Oblak tends to save the furniture too often. Savic and Giménez, far from their highest level, also miss a lot of games, and Felipe and Hermoso are no guarantee. Single the arrival of Reinildo took a deep breath. Witsel was a patch you can’t accomplish much with. The team urgently needs reinforcements.

A problem in the dressing room and for the board… as long as they continue to lack the much-requested intensity. The player with the highest quality equipment which has often lacked involvement. Gil Marín pointed to his departure in the winter due to his bad relationship with Simeone but there are no convincing offers yet and in the meantime it makes sense that Simeone will continue to attract him. His departure would mean the unlocking of several arrivals. But that doesn’t mean it was positive.
Team renewal
Several players have felt for months that they have ended their cycle at Atlético. Some seem reluctant, unrecognizable from what they showed years ago. others just they don’t fit the team it doesn’t look like they’re going to do it either. It could be a crucial year for the jump to the first team of young players, who need to take a step forward in the face of the economic situation. Pablo Barrios, Riquelme, Samuel Lino or Camello They seem to be ready.
Champions League
The primary sporting goal is to maintain economic stability. although this Atleti has been playing the Champions League for ten yearsthe water continues to reach the nape and neck millionaire sales they barely manage to lower the level. Not being in the top four would be a really hard blow, which would practically mean an automatic change of cycle.
