Came the first defeat of the season for Atletico Madrid during his visit to Mestalla. With the 2-0 victory of Valencia, the 'Cholo' Simeone had just saw the streak of 23 consecutive games without defeat, which lasted since April 11 fell by 1-4 to Real Madrid .
The visit to Mestalla was a litmus test for the aspirations of Atletico in this league. But despite the defeat, the whole mattress should hold the line, and even see the defeat as a path through which continue getting stronger.
Atletico was unable to overcome the rocky Pellegrino Valencia, but not leave bad feelings. The rojiblanco showed the intensity and ambition of previous days, but lacked success in front of the door and above all, creativity and vision in the game.
Valencia took advantage of their chances. That's how Soldado scored one of the goals of the Lig to volley a pass topping Rami pumped. Perfect script for all che, with the advantage on the scoreboard and decided to lock arms in defense colchoneras rush.
With Valencia drowning his opponent, snatching all spaces and forcing him to come up, showed the greatest weakness of the Atletico attack static creative play. Atletico's 'Cholo' has proven to be powerful in pesión, has crushed rivals exploits space on the counter, or causing losses in the attacking half. However, it shows the same competitiveness when to bring the weight of the game.
He had chances to equalize, especially in the boots of Arda Turan. This time, Falcao could not fix the marker. Again show its delivery, fight with rivals, and support to their peers, but virtually had no ball suitable to find the net. Merit of the defensive network designed for Pellegrino whose hallmark is becoming tangible.
