Atletico fell asleep. Fatal excess conservatism. Or the defensive equivalent to like a lot. A defensive narcissism. He relied too much of their security and forgot the second part even counter-attacking.
The defeat definitely pick-and it was the Atletico Madrid and makes it difficult to clamp Madrid and Champions League against Barcelona, who lost at home against Madrid would jeopardize anything.
Just he shot on goal Atletico, who had found the party face 28 minutes.
A foul Griezmann edge of the area and Koke were able to study in detail.
Actually, it is not known very well what he thought Koke, who was as elucidating possibilities. But in the Atleti it seems that everything is done several. But it would be a wonderful exercise individualism.
Griezmann struck with his left foot and the ball did three things: rose perfect on the Asturian barrier, then grabbed a rising curve, but very subtle, almost mushy, and then oriented with bad idea towards the corner of the goal, licking the cobwebs , strain the post, and everything lickable.
A goal of a privileged lefty falling like a menhir above Abelardo and yours.
Because Sporting was trying, but there was no way seen. Atletico made some initial changes to refresh the collective "musculaje" I would say a South American physio, and Abelardo put more people in the middle. It is the measure, the contra Simeone effect, as it did Cocu. Respond to the good positioning of Atletico with more people. This gave the party a kind of condensation in the center, a collapse of legs in the middle. A cloud of undistinguishable footballer. The Atético retreated even waiting for the Sporting tapers their game. I tried, but with little luck. Tickets for the always elegant left wing of Isma Lopez, a touch on the right side of Pablo Perez. But they did not arrive, and shoot or speak.
The party was thick. Both you calibrated the needs of others. More than game, game theory.
But the Atleti was calm, without the nervous attack of Champions. And that was surprising alignment young. In the middle and front, the average age not far exceeded twenty. That mix of youth and delivery pressure and docility, increases the sense of mastery, authority Cholo, who runs the kids as enthusiastic cadets. Simeone is becoming Atletico in its own subsidiary.
They are not anything. They are young rare that 22 years have already bodied tattooed. As young people who had lived a lot.
And Griezmann and Saul, and his hair seem Luftwaffe pilots planning by pressing the field.
From the goal, Sporting demoralized. The most he did was finish two córneres, something that Simeone lived in the band as a collective catastrophe.
But in the second part it did not happen as expected. Sporting pushed by its left wing, with a large Jony, and got a couple of corners.
This already troubled Simeone, who moved the bench. Gabi by Correa, to deepen the seriousness and Torres to counter. Torres should be like or transhipment station in the contras, who were faraway. Because Atletico was tucking in your area.
Sporting, near despair, had nothing to lose. She put Carmona to the right what Jony on the left and put forceful. Some kick, some ankle signed. I could not do less. He also brought Castro, his other goal scorer.
In the 26 'of the second and there was a warning. Sanabria knocked, but not a door. He knocked four players Atletico defending as a barrier. Thus: the pivots and central Atleti play like a walking barrier.
Simeone retired Vietto by Juanfran. Juanfran end perhaps too threatening.The team, far from the area, without Griezmann, had no offensive arguments.
Sporting followed his own, and in the 77th Sanabria , the more dangerous, knocked the stick. Sporting went on encouraging because the club took him to the goal of Sanabria in the next minute. After the goal, a crushing time of guajes kamikazes. In 85, Sanabria, again, won the race to Gimenez, who broke the defense had to Castro, who alone in front of goal sent the post.
It was an incomprehensible decision, but the party gave him a second chance. Three minutes later a similar play and Castro receives alone, but only in front of goal under it. You had to be very genius to fail it. 2-1 the stadium went crazy.
Gimenez, lame, still wanted to enter the field and between a doctor and held him Mono Burgos. The Atleti has that thing bullfighters with bull caught asking for more.
Sporting won for the first time in 8 matches. Abelardo very measured beat his chest at heart level, as if knocked on a door.
It's curious. During the week, she had turned to coaching, something very strange: a coach using a "coach", ie another coach. You have to be special to do that. Large somehow. Simeone, however, coachings snack. The day before the game had said something very own: "We live from today." That is not the same as living in today. Today we live in all but Simeone today and take the advantage as a cow or a pig. Nothing is left Le takes full performance (ideology today, "hodielogía" Cholo, Simeone de Beauvoir!).
All this is seen in the field, but in the second half Atletico agonistic system failed him. Not that attack, is that even the counter attack, which is what is asked.
No Griezmann, it is true, it is dry in attack.
