To the Athletic one Europe is complicated
How and does how much change the soccer concerning minutes. The Athletic one, which realized a big meeting before the Galatasaray, lowered the intensity in the second half and the pass has been complicated to the eighth ones of end of the Europe League. And that that in the first part had the completely controlled party, the possession of the ball and the clear occasions. But he could not finish off the set of Rijkaard, which tied close to the end (1-1).
Certainly, the Atleti is different. Nothing has to do this team with that of one month ago, especially at the time of touching the ball, of looking for spaces and supports. Some players have won in confidence, Kings, Assunçao and enclosed Perea be said, and that is evident at the time of possessing the ball, especially because every pass is not a stone for the partner but anything softer enough and soothing. Today Tiago was not, and Raúl García has not just come off, but the distribution was good and the occasions were coming.
Reyes is, perhaps, the player who more kisses the soil. Before the Turks also it received from the pretty thing, and especially from Elano, which it had for all during ninety minutes and left without seeing the yellow one. When less, surprising. Well, to 23 minutes the Sevillian one asked himself for an absence escorada to the right and fixed it close to the square. There was not very well Leo Franco, who then saved his team, but the Kings’ shot was placed and with very ‘bad’ intention.
This goal was serving to materialize the local superiority on the area, to do justice. And occasions came for Assunçao, Omen, Simao… a shot to the post, and many against the body of Leo Franco. It was of waiting for the development of the meeting, since in these minutes the Atleti must have pronounced itself. It had it of face, even this proper patience of the good teams. But in the second part it came to him quite below.
The Galatasaray is a hard team, but it did not show big things in the Caldron. The best was Keita and Squirrel left simply some quality stroke. Not much more. But the Atleti is lacking in gasoline, and that spent invoice to him in the last stretch of the duel. Quique took from Forlán to little of the renewal, and to the Uruguayan the weariness was evident in the face; he did not even applaud to the step. The Kun was not very inspired, but nevertheless it left twinkles of his class and created danger; a pity for theirs that was not finding the goal.
The worst of the night: the injury of Of Gea
Little by little, the Atleti was at least, which does not mean that it was lower than his opponent. Until the bad news about the night came: the injury of Of Gea, who, on having extracted of door, suffered a prick and had to be replaced (although it seems that there is no break). If to Forlán the weariness was evident in the face, the nerves were evident Asenjo. The step received him with applauses and even chorused his name to place trust in him. But not at all, there was no form.
It went out for the change first ones badly and to point it was of costing him expensively. But in the minute 77, a ball is walked by the area and Keita in the second stick did the definitive tie. Asenjo was unfortunate, undoubtedly it was caught by its own fear, and it immobilized that to him per seconds, and made him move when one had to be calm. Anyway, the step ended up by whistling him, but the love must not fall down in the same error. He is a good doorman and it is necessary to give him fortitudes; it is the only form of that extracts his best version.
Salvio made debut in the Atleti, and it rubbed the one that had been the goal of the victory, but it could not round his first appearance. The set was not badly rojiblanco; in fact, it is almost sure that it approaches what the fans want: a team that at least touches the ball and creates occasions; and that behind it does not grant too much. Domínguez has improved the rear, but his emulation for going out with cards has provoked that loses the return in Turkey.
Difficult the Athletic one has it to happen, although today it deserved to win. He convinced during many minutes, again supported in improved Kings, and in another concept of the soccer based on the short pass and the movement. Perhaps be too optimistic after the versions that this group has gone so far as to offer us, but they have changed the forms; now it is lacking to keep on correcting errors and to recover the physicist to do that the quality that it hoards above is a distinctive stamp again.
