Fernando Torres: Atletico Madrid players "have never doubted" Diego Simeone

Fernando Torres backs Diego Simeone to turn around Atletico Madrid's fortunes, having seen his side pick up just three points from the last 12 on offer in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres has insisted that Diego Simeone has the full support of the squad despite their current disappointing run of form.

The Rojiblancos have lost three of their last four games in La Liga, including a 3-0 defeat to rivals Real Madrid last time out to slip well off the pace in the title race.

Atletico have already conceded seven more goals this term than they shipped in the whole of last season, but Torres says that the club's pride has not taken a dent as they prepare for Wednesday's European clash with PSV Eindhoven at the Vicente Calderon.

"We have never doubted Simeone," he is quoted as saying by Marca. "We are proud of what we are doing but we must recover our style. We must be prepared because every game is different. We are always together, we know what we want to achieve and how we need to achieve it."

Atleti are currently sixth in the Spanish top flight and find themselves nine points adrift of leaders Real.
