Cagliari, Simeone: 'Coming here wasn't a step backwards in my career'
- Apollo Heyes
"Coming here a step backwards in my career? Absolutely not. I always went where I felt the trust of the environment in me, when I realised that the coach wanted me so much and that President Giulini was ready to make great sacrifices to have me, I did not think for a moment to say no.”
The 24-year-old Argentinian forward, son of Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone, moved to Cagliari on loan with an obligation to buy this summer from Fiorentina. The player has scored two goals in his first five games with the Sardinian side.
Simeone struggled at Fiorentina last season, only scoring eight goals and providing four assists in 40 games for the Tuscan club.
