Atletico is taken very seriously

At this stage of the course not taken seriously at Atletico Madrid, beyond the. Since then the team itself Diego Pablo Simeone is being taken very seriously himself. Week after week is strengthening its project and the emphatic win over Sevilla FC (4-0) was the last step of the big rally that is taking place since the Cholo took over the team.

Excellent match the Atleti yesterday, grounded in two backbones: placement and intensity, his two great virtues. The way the Atletico players are planted in the field and occupy a large space denotes previous work focused on moving as a block, with all remaining players back and flanks of adjacent peers. To maintain the placement and space closure is indispensable virtue that highlight the second, the intensity. Like eating the opponent, hungry for victory, conceptualize every ball as if it were a matter of life and death: cholismo at its best.

Under this atmosphere no one should be surprised that the first man to go to the ground to play two balls be Arda Turan, the Ten, which has more quality out of all the midfielders. If the good is going to the ground, what will not to do the other? And last but not least, the contest Diego Costa in place of Adrian and gives the team the Warrior 11. The importance of striker brasileiro is growing game by game and nobody doubts as to its compatibility with Falcao. Costa not only does not conflict with the crack Colombian space, but that takes away job of undermining the work and at the same time, takes advantage of opposing defenses always more inclined to watch the coffee front.

Sevilla, completely blurred, a shadow of what was the last day when he marveled with a 5-0 over Betis in Seville derby. Míchel The set has two faces: the home, with 13 points from a possible 18, and outside, which has scored just five points from 21. Totally overwhelmed by the energy colchonera only remained standing until the 22nd minute and Falcao Fazio was ejected forward to yours from the penalty spot.

Michel found a good solution by introducing Botía Rakitic Kondogbia and delaying the double pivot with Maduro, making his 4-2-3-1 in a 4-4-1. But the main problem was the intensity. Local players earn all balls divided reject all provided with a gear at least for visitors. At half-time, everything was ready for judgment: Spahic introduced Arda Turan center into his own net and, shortly after, Costa attended Koke, who finished off what McManaman.

The second half was a feast for the parishioners of the Vicente Calderon in true communion with his team Sunday to Sunday and increasing the size of the altar of Cholo Simeone. Could fatten the scoring Atletico, but Sevilla knew shelter from the downpour, at least until he gave him to Rakitic erased and take the path to the showers early. After the expulsion of Croatian until Miranda was encouraged to reach the small area to push a service network of Arda, putting the icing on a great night with the 4-0.

That result, 4-0, was the same as that achieved Malaga against Valencia, a match that is to increase the feeling that the once dominant Sevilla and Valencia have lost prominence to the strength of Malaga and Atletico. Furthermore, as both mattress anchovies won an important win after having played European session, both with three days off, the same problems with the calendar that must inevitably find any club dispute international competitions.

Following the appointment copera, Atletico will face an important game. Nothing more and nothing less than the Madrid derby at the Santiago Bernabeu, where not won for over a decade. Come with 8-point lead over Real Madrid, which should not necessarily reassure them and condition their approach. Atletico can lose at the Bernabeu, would be normal, as the Madrid does not miss many points of his fief. What is important to demonstrate that the mattress is not afraid of anyone, they are a team that goes out to win at all playing fields and always with the intention of imposing his game opponent. Atletico at the Bernabeu has to be more than ever cholista and make a match that their fans proud. The result will be important, of course, but after all circumstantial and secondary.
