Atletico seems to be recovering slowly from a disastrous run of results. Although Manzanares do so at their form, alternating good performances like this past weekend with Villarreal, who won 3-1, with games saved with bad draws in extremis, as against Getafe and Sevilla . It is their way of doing things because, make no mistake, even last year that won the European Manzanares League football was his best. But, given the scarcity of good football, Quique Flores should have responded with this course other tools that have not worked.
Leave aside the controversy, that there are now Atlético everywhere, from the economic and institutional to the intimate, what happens in the locker room. On other occasions we have mentioned these circumstances. Focus on results, which, again, is the only thing on which a team that lacks other basics. Midfielder Tiago said at a news conference, a statement that has been collected daily Marca , which fears "that the team back on track". No wonder. Is what they fear, and what is fear, Atletico fans.
Only twice has won the Madrid Atletico string two victories this season in the league. He did at the start of the championship: the first time extended its European holiday (got to win the Super Cup to Inter) and thrashed 4-0 at Sporting, and the second beat in a difficult field as San Mames (1-2) . Then, Atletico seemed to be serious. But it was deflated. Assuming that in the big races (before the serious rivals) the red and whites have not lived up to the Greek Aris Thessaloniki him a lot of damage and throwing beaten twice in Europe. And justifying the fear of Tiago, the first time just when the team was better after starting the season launched.
Atletico had to wait until days 11 and 12 for re-stringing two wins in the league. Calderon won the first Osasuna 3-0 and then Anoeta to Real Sociedad 2-4. Espanyol-appeared from that if Atletico Madrid would have won would have exceeded the table, entering the Champions League positions, but lost again, and Aris Thessaloniki, which inexplicably took a win in Madrid and prevented the move from Atletico the elimination of the Europa League, to give lunges paths to the Manzanares, which were really concerned for the rest of the course. And he has not won twice in the League Championship, a major figure for a team that aspires to be struggling to get into the Champions League.
Has reason to speak Portuguese well. After five straight losses, one in the Copa del Rey against Real Madrid and four in the league against Sporting, Athletic, Barcelona and Valencia-Atletico lead the four consecutive games without being defeated, with two wins and two draws. This is the best streak in the league Atleti. But nothing else, we must be realistic and James does well to fear the worst because Atletico has not really improved anything. Still the same team that relies too heavily on his three players spillover: Aguero, Forlan and Reyes.
Back at it again means to fall again when it seems less likely when the team believed to be flying off. But it is improvement, I say, it is only in appearance. Champions enter is no longer even a goal, is an impossibility, now the mission is not to get out of Europe and for that the athlete has to be more reliable. Can not be the team that so far has been, which, apart from falling into the big occasion, succumbed to Sporting, Levante or Hercules. The first test is next Saturday in Almería, which has never won at home in any of his five visits (three defeats and two draws).
