Atletico Madrid faces a challenging matchup against the Seattle Sounders in the Club World Cup after suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Coach Diego Simeone emphasized the need for a strong response, stating that the significant goal difference poses a challenge. The upcoming game is crucial, especially with another match against Botafogo on the horizon. Seattle's home advantage and cooler climate provide hurdles for Atletico, but players like Obed Vargas, an inspired Atletico fan, are eager to take the field and showcase their underdog spirit.
"The tough defeat to PSG forces us to get good results," admitted Simeone. "The goal difference is hard, four goals is a lot. We are focused on the game against Seattle on the 19th."
"When all the other teams would see my Alaska team [they'd think] 'They're trash, we're gonna beat them.' And I always had an underdog mentality."
