Atletico de Madrid is extremely boring. It plays you shortly. It plays you long. It plays you into space. It dominates you at the edge of the area. Scores goals. Surely if we do a survey among their fans they will be very fed up. What a way to suffer. The pity is that one of the best Athletics in years is being with its empty stadium.
A good thermometer would be sure. And all this built with some footballers who were not worth Madrid and Barcelona for their teams. Blessed is the moment when Hermoso, Llorente, and Suarez headed down the path of the Metropolitan, the colchoneros will say.
Like last Thursday in Ipurua, it was difficult for Atletico to enter the game and when Racic woke up, Oblak’s goal had already been blown up with a spectacular left foot. The Serbian was desperate, opening his arms for the ball to reach him and he didn’t even think about it, from more than thirty meters he cleaned the cobwebs from the Metropolitan’s goal. Does Gaya’s pass count as assistance?
Atletico had not scored a corner goal all season and it had to be Joao Felix who broke two bad streaks at once, his of more than two months without scoring and his team’s from the corners. In a very complicated shot, he managed to hit the ball at point-blank range with the plate of his boot. An artist’s resource that of the Portuguese.
After several days trying to convince the staff that it was not a penalty for Luis Suarez, it will now be necessary to find justification for the ‘dangerous game’ that Lemar was whistled for not to signal a penalty. What happened? Penalty.
No man if I have whistled lack of Lemar. But what does the other give you? I play danger then. Gayá touches the ball to Vrsaljko and it hits him, a clear foul from the side. Lemar touches the ball to Maxi Gómez and it hits him a Dangerous play. Keep going
Who do you tell that Atlético de Simeone was going to be close to losing a ball for leaving with the ball played from their area or believe it? Well, up to two times he got into a good garden and Mario Hermoso ended up showing the level at which he is in that season to go out with the ball played, millimeter pass of almost 50 meters to Joao Felix, assistance from the Portuguese to Suárez and while he looked at the companions arriving in the area … to the cage. Another goal from the Uruguayan.
If Simeone had a problem with Trippier’s loss, Carrasco’s second half in the right lane invites optimism. What a display for 45 ‘from the Belgian in the right lane. In the 87th minute.
He still had bellows left to reach the baseline and grab one of the night’s anger when he saw that his pass from the door walked through the small area without a finisher. Now Cholo’s task is to plug Lodi in to save Trippier’s loss in the best way.
