Felipe: Atletico Madrid's problems aren't Simeone's fault Atletico Madrid He wants patience

Felipe has called for patience with Atletico Madrid, despite their underwhelming run of late under Diego Simeone continuing with a goalless draw against Leganes.

The result extended their winless run to four, of which they've lost three and drawn one.

Los Rojiblancos have been subpar for much of the season so far, but the defender insists that they need time and that fingering blame won't help anyone.

"It's not Simeone's fault," he said after the game.

"We are united and it's not a case of finding guilty parties or singling out names.

"We're a young team, we've only been together for six months.

"Everyone knows we're failing and we have to improve."

Next up for Atleti is Real Madrid in the derby.
