They are awesome when they play for Simone.

He breathed life back into Filipe Luis and Torres. Fucking Torres! The guy was so over and now he is a decent CF. A play maker and scores very important goals. 

I very much enjoy watching Carrasco and Gabi too. Griezmann is world class.

But again, You just can't play offensively against Neymar, Messi and Suarez and expect to win. It may happen but you don't expect it to happen. 

Yeah, I've nothing against deffensive football. I dislike it, but it gives results to some teams. The problem is when Atletico do some questionable stuff, like throwing balls into the field in the middle of a rival's counter-attack (that happened last week), when you purposely pull off a fight against the rival's players to win some time... Those are tactics that they pull off a lot when they're in problems. And that's what I despise. 

That I agree with. 

I think Simone is gonna miss the finale. Did he really think hitting the referee is a good idea? what a nutcase lol
