#2 Trust some of the younger players with more play time/responsibilities
The core of players who have done so well for Atleti are on their last legs and if the club wish to avoid the kind of meltdown that AC Milan witnessed when its older players started dropping off one by one, next season will be very important for the team.

Despite its large core of older players, there are quite a number of younger players in the team who are raring to be given more responsibility and have shown the quality they have.
José Giménez (23), Lucas Hernández (22), Thomas Partey (24) and Sime Vrsaljko (26) are members of the squad more than capable of stepping in for the older generation and will need to be trusted with more responsibility.
Koke (26), Saúl Ñíguez (23), and Ángel Correa (23) are already established members of the team and will need the help of the aforementioned players to help ease the expected exits of stalwarts like Torres, Gabi, Godin, Juanfran and co.
The confirmed arrival of Rodri (21) is borne of the realization by the club’s hierarchy of the need to regenerate, and with rumours linking the club to players like Valencia striker Rodrigo Moreno if Griezmann leaves; it seems the club will be looking to the future for its recruitment next season.
