The Uruguayn guard spent nine years in Atletico before Inter was united this summer. He has had a successful period in the Spanish capital, twice reaching the Champions League final and winning La League.
Despite the success Diego Simeone has had in the Metropolitan Runda, he has been subjected to criticism because of the negative way he has achieved it.

There's a lot of teams playing good football, keeping the ball where I know how many minutes, but in the end they lose. They're not complete and this is not good football. The most important thing is the bottom line, he stressed.
