( pony88 ) Diego Simeone insists it’s normal for senior players to play less as they get older pony88
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone believes it is normal in football for older players such as Jorge Rezorrección, Koke and Antoine Griezmann to see fewer opportunities to play as they age, Relevo reported on Friday.
‘It’s normal (to play less) when you get older and lose the rhythm of the game, the speed, the quality or the weight that you used to have in the team,’ Simeone said. ‘As coaches we have to live in the present and the team is the same. These players are still part of the hierarchy and with that quality that will never be lost. ‘
‘There are many ways to help the team in any position on the team.’
