The Atlético de Madrid Among the temptation to get carried away in the final stretch of a league that, to his misfortune, neither goes nor comes to him and the need to maintain a constant competitive rhythm that allows him to reach the World Cup with guarantees. The rojiblancos came to listen more to the demon than to the angel, whatever the final result of each party, and finally this Thursday against the Ray He put together a convincing win that reconciles him with himself.
Sorloth, Gallagher and Julián Álvarez They signed a comfortable victory in the Madrid derby that the metropolitan was played. Contributed Cloud With a couple of great stops, yes, but the performance of his goalkeeper does not subtract merits from a convincing athletic who screws himself in third place: in the absence of 15 points to be played, six separate him from Real Madrid above and from Athletic below. The ray now sees three European dreams now.
Simeone's messages
Simeone He does not leave many headlines in his press conferences, but he launches many messages. And in his last appearances he had been highlighting the need that his players, the current ones and those who come in summer, always act in need. A speech that, now that LaLiga is exhausted without goals for the mats, sounds like navigators: whoever wants to continue here next season, to demonstrate it.
It would be said that, at first glance, the technician's message calmed into his players. This explains, in part, that Atlético be advanced on the scoreboard within two minutes. The other part that explains it is the state of grace of a Giuliano that does not stop growing and that an extraordinary center was taken out of its right boot so that Sorloth It will head on the second stick.
Griezmann, again substitute
Because, yes, the Norwegian totem was a starter again to the detriment of a Griezmann whose continuity seems on track, despite the temptations from those United States that fascinate him so much. Surely, both of them convey that exchange of roles (the Frenchman entered his partner at the time of the game). Of course he does a Sorloth which was a ball magnet throughout the first half.
It is true that the ram was losing effectiveness with the passage of the minutes, after enjoying two other very clear occasions in the first eight minutes. But it served its first half to give an athletic a buoy on which to build a domain that only trembled about half an hour, when Cloud He intervened to stop an ISI launch from the area.
Once the scare was over, Atlético followed his work and found the second goal when the break was almost a fact. This time, the goal came through a front center whose ideal recipient seemed to be, of course, Sorloth. It happened that Gallagher He brought in the ball of the ball and put together a surprise header that beat a sold Battle.
Julian culminates the win
Isithe best ray player (this Thursday and, with permission from the Argentine goalkeeper, also in general) was the only one who seemed to rebel against defeat. He tried with a great header, finding a portentous response of Cloud that left the evil defensive marking of Barrios.
A punctual dismissal in the context of a completely controlled match for Atlético who transformed the victory into a win in the absence of a quarter of an hour. Julián Álvarez It was the author and Griezmann The wizard, a goal pass that the French needed to, like his entire team, reconcile with himself.
