Atletico Madrid -Coach Diego Simeone took full responsibility for the recent struggles of his team on the road after Osasuna had given them a defeat of home in Laliga on Thursday.
Atletico fell on a surprise with a 2-0 loss in Osasuna and has won only one of their last six, and did not score in their last three.
“I think we played better today than against Alaves and Las Palmas, but it is clear that the coach finds no way to inspire the players to perform their best,” Simeone told a press conference.
“I look inside. It is my responsibility that they cannot show from home what they do when we play at home.”

Atletico looked uninspired against Osasuna, who hope to return to the European competition for the first time in almost two decades.
“It was clear from the start that we had the opportunities to take the lead, but we didn't do that,” Simeone added.
“They had a set that went close, and in the next game, where we could have done more, they benefited from their height to score.
“In the second half we checked the game, although we did not make any dangerous opportunities as we had in the first. (Ante) Budimir scored a great goal and we were held on to this result.”
