Just over a year ago, Diego Simeone stood there in front of the entire Metropolitano stadium after Atleti’s elimination from the Champions League. Many people lost their trust in him, many attacked him, and many wanted him out.
One year later, he has qualified for the Champions League knockout stages for the 9th time out of 11 attempts. His Atleti is currently sitting third in the table with a game in hand, which, if won, would leave them only 1 point behind the leaders.
We hope your praise is as loud as the disrespect. Long live Diego Pablo Simeone. 🇦🇷❤️🤍
Kane Williamson's childhood coach said, "I remember Kane was utterly gutted after that heartbreaking loss at the 2019 WC Final. He was numb for a long time, it was really difficult for him to get back to normal. And this time the entire effort to play the 2023 WC after being injured, the passion, the hard work staggered me. I knew that the 2019 World Cup memory drove him to have one more crack at it in India". (Indian Express).
