Simeone has admitted his new-look side must find their feet quickly ahead of the start of the new La Liga season.
Speaking after Atletico Madrid’s 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the International Champions Cup, Simeone said: “This serves for our preparation, for our players to get some playing time and to prepare in the best way for Wednesday.
“This tournament is very interesting as you are facing very strong clubs and institutions, at the top level. That is healthy for us.
“It is a pity the World Cup meant we could not have players at their top version, as some have played not so much. It was an interesting game, with both teams having many chances.
“There are things to improve, our pressing for example, but it was a good game, could have had many more goals than the 1-0.”
