Atletico have started La Liga with two wins and two draws, and Simeone 𓂃said the team are going in the right direction, and he was not concerned with𒁃 results as ups and downs are expected.
Coming off the back of an international break, Atletico are fourt🐓h in the La Liga standings, four ꦯpoints behind leaders Barcelona.
"We will face a difficult task in La Liga, especially in the beginning of the season, until our team find their rhythm, reach the form that we kn๊ow we [can] achieve," Sime💖one told a press conference on Saturday.
"We have 𓄧many new players that have joined the team, something that has not happened in the last two seasons. But I'm not changing the objective. I'm still hoping f🥂or the best results.
"It would have b🌞een nice if the new guys were around here, but obviously the national teams call and everyone needs to go for two weeks.
"Our task here is to try to make th✤em feel at home as quickly as possible so they can b𝐆lend in and perform at the level that we all want.
Simeone said having too many players was a good problem to have and🐎 that he was not worried about choosing a starting 11 as he will rotate his team during a busy schedule, 🍨with seven games between LaLiga and the Champions League in the next three weeks.
"I see the group with enthusiasm, the💫y all want to play and earn their space in the team and are working hard for ꦏthat," Simeone added.
"It's difficult to choose ꧑who to play, but🧔 the number of games ahead allows me to have fresh players available, coming in with a lot of energy and desire.
"I 🃏like to think game by game🦄, and it doesn't take me any further away from Valencia. Yes, we have new players around, but I'm not changing that mentality and our objective, which is still hoping for the best result, game by game."
