Simeone: A coach executes a plan based on what happens on the pitch Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid Spoke ahead of Sevilla clash

Diego Simeone has hinted that any changes he makes to his Atletico Madrid setup will be a reflection of what he's seen on the pitch in recent weeks.

Atletico have struggled for consistency this season and have already dropped far more points than they'd have liked.

"We have a broader picture now of what each player gives us," he said ahead of the game against Sevilla and after Alaves.

"The coach ends up executing things based on what the on-field actions say.

"We can't move away from what the pitch shows. The on-pitch matters show things that we have to follow. It's what the team needs."

Despite dropping points against Alaves, Simeone feels there were some positives to take.

"I put more emphasis on what needs to be improved," he explained.

"I'm left with more positives from the second half.

"We're at a stage where we need to keep improving based on games, work, training and competition. That shows you the reality."

Angel Correa and Alvaro Morata have shown a good understanding of one another, and Cholo is happy that they can perform with anyone in attack.

"Correa and Morata have played with [Antoine] Griezmann, with Diego Costa and with Joao Felix," he added.

"They've played with everyone, in different pairings and they've always performed."
