アトレティコ・マドリードの監督、シメオネ氏の統率力、牽引力の根源に迫ります。
Diego Simeone is obsessed with winning at all costs. But Atletico Madrid's 48-year-old manager is also driven by something more profound than results at the highest level.
中略
Atletico, back then hardly seen as sleeping giants, have been transformed into major players in elite European football under his watch. Simeone has led them to two Europa League titles, one Copa del Rey, one Spanish Super Cup, one La Liga title and two European Super Cups.
"When I see this team in action, you can tell that it is Diego Simeone's team," said former Portugal and Real Madrid forward Luis Figo - who played against 'El Cholo' in La Liga - before the 2018 Europa League final in Lyon, when Atletico outclassed Marseille 3-0.
"They have his same willpower and strength."

自己を信頼し、他者を信頼すること。的確な状況判断と決断力。シメオネ氏のプロフェッショナルな部分が、この文章から垣間見えます。(KOH)
