Diego Simeone expects more from Jackson Martinez, Fernando Torres

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone says that everyone at the club expects more goals from strikers Jackson Martinez and Fernando Torres.

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has said that everyone at the club expects more goals from strikers Jackson Martinez and Fernando Torres.

Both players have scored just two goals each this season, with Martinez coming in as a €35m (£25.1m) summer signing having scored 92 goals in 133 appearances for Porto and Torres scoring 91 goals in 244 games during his first stint with the club.

That, according to Simeone, is not enough, with the Argentine manager having to mostly rely on the goals of Antoine Griezmann.

"As soon we're creating more goalscoring chances the strikers will be more confident they can score," he told reporters. "We all expect more from players like Jackson and Fernando in front of goal.

"They've scored two goals this season. But the positive thing is that they and Correa, Griezmann and Vietto can all score."

Atletico are currently fourth in La Liga, behind Real Madrid, Celta Vigo and Barcelona.
