The Athletic one is a prisoner of his false optimism
Judging by the seen in what we go of campaign, it seems that for the Athletic one of Madrid the period still had not started. It gives the sensation that the team is immersed in a trial period, which is in the good way, happening from the collective errors to the individuals, as says Quique Sánchez. Another lie more. Some time ago that this team drags both collective and individual problems; that thing about the goal in the last minute is not new, not that thing about the penalty either. Everything is a consequence of the awkwardness of a set of players who scarcely know each other, independently of the time that they should take together. Or perhaps it know each other so much that do not trust some in others. Everything is possible.
I am partial to the cautious speeches, when these it have to be. Pero Athletic moves in the precaution when of evil it talks each other and shoots the effusiveness to speak about different aspirations. Without going further, the proper Quique entered speaking of placing the team in area UEFA before the Christmas shutdown, but when he tries to analyze many errors of the team, it pulls the adaptation and a period that they all need to curdle ideas. The big quandary is that there are no ideas, and if there is someone it finishes produced before the ineptitude of the group, for which the ‘Kun’ always boy asking loudly to be who saves it. Since everything will finish when the Argentinian leaves full with pulling the car, as it happened to him to Towers, and then the lamentations of all parts will come.
When the Atleti is tying for lack of ten minutes, it is easy to think that it will end up by losing. Perhaps the proper soccer players think it; otherwise there is no explanation for tantísimos sins. Now Cherry tree speaks again, although whenever it does it it is to add some wrong comment to his long list of absurdities. Remember that Quique, as Abel, cannot go away because it still has not killed anybody (and because it has just come). His tone does not excel itself, but the situation worries already, although it is not dramatic. The same situation that with the toledano in the stool was not any worry motive. And they add the days.
If the Atleti recovers it will be because Omen, Forlán or some of the few ones that usually appear the furniture again, they extract save afloat the team. But those of the Manzanares provoke suspicion somewhere near where they go, and few ones are those who bet for a rapid recovery. It is not for less, and it is equal the team that is faces, right now the Athletic one is a prisoner of his powerlessness and he owes her to himself. Some speak about the absence of winning mentality and about the psychologists’ need, but the reality is that to play football good soccer players need and, I insist, this club does not have them. It is not that they are the worst, but demonstrated it stays that they can come at the edge of the pernicious thing as soon as this pinch of necessary luck is missing and the proved villains are accumulating.
It can be that the rojiblancos, expert at covering mouths, recapture the same flight with which they finished the past campaign. But the fact is that the period of the Athletic one seems that ended in August, when it eliminated the Panathinaikos and qualified for the Champions League. The speeches, like the luck, become exhausted, and it is not possible to be speaking of fighting for remaining third, nor of conquering a title when investments are not done for it. Good foreign soccer players sound, and canteranos rustles are heard, but none becomes true, because this team is content with mediocrities to fight for the maximum thing, and that can have a fatal ending. For the time being, many days stay ahead, but as the situation does not change and the inertia is equal of denial, it will be difficult to go out of the well.
Now there come Spanish, Xerez, Villarreal and Tenerife. Some voices see the Athletic one out of any danger being based in that there are worse teams. But it is necessary to remember that Guatemalan and Rodríguez López will visit the Athletic one just as in the first day it came to The Rose bed, being considered top; even worse, knowing that the best only thing that it has is his double one of South American forwards. And Quique, which should have set off from the humility, dared to rise to the car of the nonsenses. Optimist it can be any, but not anyone can believe his own optimism. When the Athletic one undresses his false superiority, only then, it will be a winning team again, because it will fight in every meeting to demonstrate aquéllo of what so much and it does so much time presumes.
