Simeone stays calm despite Atletico’s woeful start to the season

MADRID: Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone is keeping his cool despite his team’s disastrous start in their bid to end a five-year LaLiga title drought, with the under-fire coach hoping to strengthen his squad before Monday’s transfer deadline. Atletico are in 14th place after managing one point from their opening two LaLiga matches — a 2-1 loss at Espanyol and a disappointing 1-1 home draw against promoted Elche. Simeone’s side now face the tricky task of visiting ninth-placed Alaves on Saturday, with their Basque opponents buoyed by three points from last week’s victory over Levante.
