Atletico Madrid failed to win any of their opening three LaLiga matches, drawing 1-1 with Alaves and Elche and losing 2-1 to Espanyol. The start represents the club's worst opening under Diego Simeone and the poorest beginning since 2009-10. Simeone stated he will keep working and trusts his players, expressing confidence that results will improve as the team improves. Giuliano Simeone scored early against Alaves before Carlos Vicente equalised from a penalty after Alexander Sorloth fouled Nahuel Tenaglia. Goalkeeper Jan Oblak admitted concern, frustration and responsibility for the lack of points.
The first thing is that the team improves, and as a result of that, the points will improve. (I will) keep working and trust my players,
We have a team that is going to do better than what we're doing right now. Today, once again, we could have won, but we lacked sharpness and efficiency. In every match we've gone ahead. It's strange.
When things don't go your way, you're worried. This is not what we wanted. It's two points and a bad feeling with frustration,
It's incredible what is happening to us. It's our fault. The points aren't there and that is on us.
