Athletic vs. Oporto: the punishment of the mediocrity
The staff of the Athletic one of Madrid is not made to play the UEFA Europe League. But it is the punishment, which I do not reward, for having realized a groups phase paupérrima in the one that after five days it can only presume of a tie before one of the best teams of the continent as it is the Chelsea. Of the rest, awful pulling to shameful. Today the Athletic one of Madrid has the opportunity to the succulent quantity be pocketed by an European victory and to guarantee his classification for the small sister of the Champions, this competition that does not do greatly placed the Seville in the map after the conquest of the title in 2006 and 2007.
The rival is not that it is the most propitious to give to the step a heavy defeat, but the Oporto plays only a few euros that are never of any more in these crisis times. But he cannot even throw the bond to the Chelsea, group champion from the previous day, if he can be afraid for being reached by the rojiblancos, which can already only become third. Nevertheless, weaker opponents have conquered Vicente Calderón and in spite of two consecutive victories of the Athletic one, in abundance it is known that in the bank of the Manzanares everything can spend. Quique Sánchez Flores does not want surprises and it will put everything what it has to go out victoriously of the last Champions bet before doing blot and new account.
The best news about the night would be that the Athletic one was obtaining a comfortable victory before the Oporto, while his two stars were confirming his arrangement with the goal. Two forwards, Agüero and Forlán, will set off of beginning; Jury will form couple again with Assunçao in the double pivot, and Reyes will keep on trying his recovery as soccer player as the technician of Madrid promised. The night will be placid in the Caldron if the script is written by the logic as pen, although of these courses the team should not be very friendly mattress-maker. If the door that they are on the point of opening, that of the UEFA Europe League, is the entry to the success or to the defeat one will know further on. For the time being, better to open it than not to give him a new bang that supposes another eyesore to that so well this team has us used.
