'Cholo' Simeone and Ernesto Valverde represent two distinct but complementary styles of play. The claw is a common virtue that both coaches bring to their teams to the point that, without going any further, Raul Garcia went from Madrid to Bilbao to play football almost the same. On Sunday, both coaches are again see the faces in the red and white duel.
The Vicente Calderon will host this exciting match in which each comes with different objectives. The mattress have in mind to stay in the fight for the lead with FC Barcelona and maintain its lead over Real Madrid . Also, they have to throw achieve 'little hand' winning streak, which had failed so far in the league.
Athletic , however, has a more modest but equally vital for the future of the next season goal. They are at the gates of the Europa League in seventh place in the competition also managed to advance to round Thursday knockout phase as first in their group.
The stronghold of Atletico Madrid is without doubt the most important factor to consider. There, they have only lost one game; They have drawn one; and won the remaining five. Also, they have the honor of being the fewest championship, above even the current champions, with only 6 goals against in his locker.
As for the low and recoveries, Simeone still can count on their star forward theoretical, Jackson Martinez , or the injured Tiago and kept in cotton young Jose Gimenez, who wait until the last minute to see if he can play.
