Madrid head coach Diego Simeone says he is excited about the arrival of
central midfielder Augusto Fernandez from Celta Vigo, ahead of his
side’s game against Levante on Saturday.
Simeone praised the club’s latest recruit, and despite not being
available for this weekend’s clash, he believes the Argentinean’s
versatility offers great depth and competition to the team.
The 45 year-old added that he hopes Atletico can continue to play
with energy and strength throughout the remainder of the season, as they
look to clinch a second league title in three years.
Los Rojiblancos’ weekend opponents sit rock bottom of La Liga, having
only picked up a point from their previous five games, but Simeone
insists it could be difficult to break down their defensive set-up.
