Diego Simeone Says He Respects Atletico Fans After Alvaro Morata Protests

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has said he respects the opinion of the club's supporters after sections of fans were heard protesting against the signing of Alvaro Morata.

The striker appears poised to make the switch to the Wanda Metropolitano on loan, although it's not a deal the Atletico supporters appear completely on board with. During the 2-0 win over Getafe on Saturday, some chants of "less Morata and more Borja Garces" were heard.

When asked about them, Simeone said he respects the fanbase and said he will bring in players he believes will enhance the team, per Joe Wright of Goal.
