Atlético de Madrid: Simeone’s Atlético is unfathomable

Anyone would consider him dead Atlético when Juanlu marked 1-3 of a good Sevilla in the 57th minute. But that should never be thought about with a team of Simeonewith whom you never stop believing… and trying. That is why the coach did not stop asking his players for their head and spinning the game even in injury time, before turning the game upside down. Metropolitan. That is why he did not hesitate to leave the green one on top, aware that he was the only one with the capacity to get a double out of nowhere. And to trust a Linowho after a disastrous season, returned to his level with a great goal and a fundamental assist.

Sorloth relives the Lille night

If Atlético lost at the Metropolitano against Lille, it was largely due to the three missed goals by Sorloth before the comeback. His first quarter of an hour yesterday was a ‘deja vu’. His first header in the heart of the area found a great response from Álvaro Fernández, the second hit the goalkeeper’s feet and the third, when he was missing the goal when he saw how he dived, he didn’t even finish.

The most Atleti Atleti would be with eleven Giulianos

It is not the best, nor the most technical nor the finest, but it is the one that best embodies the DNA of Atlético and that of Simeone. He just lifts up the team, the stands and makes the defenders not have a second of peace of mind. The more impossible a ball is, the more arguments he finds to fight it, each loss is the greatest motivation to recover the ball and each split play always falls for him because he puts more energy into it than anyone else. He is unique even when he goes out for a sprint when he sees the board to be replaced. It is the soul.

From Paul ‘silences’ the Metropolitan

Let it not be forgotten that just a month ago, De Paul was received with whistles by his fans. Neither did Simeone’s words on Saturday in which everything that can be at the club depends on himself. He had already scored in Valladolid, scored and assisted twice in Cáceres and on the first occasion when he was asked what to do with the ball he scored a world-class goal. Obviously, the stands are sovereign, but the Argentine opens the debate on whether he is always right…

Sevilla walks… until it flies

After committing harakiri last season during his visit with Las Palmas, García Pimienta has perfected his proposal. He continues with the advanced defense and with the idea of ​​attracting his rival to find spaces. But this time he did it very well. Walking while the defenders pass the ball, but flying from the middle of the field forward as soon as they saw the possibility of going on the counterattack. That’s how the second came, with Kike Salas running more than Llorente and Isaac Romero more than Giménez, and that’s how the third could come. And on top of that, he has Lukebakio, as seen in the first one.
