Very important victory of the colchoneros in Pamplona, because the
Atlético de Madrid
came after the great effort of the comeback against him Salzburg, because there were several changes in the eleven, because there were many casualties … But above all because the rojiblanco team was not comfortable throughout the first half.
It looked bad for the team Simeone. The Argentine coach has always defended that the difference between teams that can do great things in a season from those that does not reside in their ability to take out the games that are against, in which they are not comfortable, that the things … Hence the importance of the three points added in Navarre in a game that in its first half hour was a minefield. But as it happened before him Betis he found the marker in favor in a specific play, when he painted the worst. And with the score in favor and yes, he unleashed in the offensive to show that he has a lot of firepower … although he did not take advantage of nothing more than two.
And this matter can be interpreted in two ways. The first, in a negative key, seeing that he suffers more than he should Athletic to get many games. And another, positive, valuing that he is able to get this type of harsh, ambushed, bitter encounters … Because many may know little by little what is seen in some games of the Simeone, specially in League, but reality shows that it has a privileged situation, that it has only fitted two in six games, which has made 13 and has three victories in a row. And let's remember that he has two games postponed being third … Athletic add, add and add … and add again to reinforce your candidacy to what is third.
Simeone was left in Madrid to Luis Suarez, top gunner of the mattress team. Also to Saul, despite being already recovered. The accumulation of parties generates that the Cholo have to rotate in their alignments. He did so in The Sadar. Went back Gimenez, first games of the season. Beautiful leave it to I gave it on the bench, on the left side. Vitolo was a starter for the second time in the course … and above Llorente Y Joao
Felix.
What was seen was a match diametrically opposed to the one that just a few months ago gave birth to a Athletic post-stop, simply intractable. That mattress team ran over the Navarrese team with Joao Felix Y Llorente on a stellar plan, within an outstanding choral performance.
A TROUBLING OSASUNA
Jagoba
Sweep yourself He did not want to repeat mistakes, he made it clear that he had learned his lesson and studied what to do to avoid another win. To begin with, he put surveillance on Joao Y Llorente, that every time they received they were surrounded. Osasuna raised a game with a very high pressure. Very physical, which made the Athletic had a lot of problems moving the ball in the spinal cord, where it already has them habitually. A game with a very high rhythm that led to anticipation that the one who fainted first would have problems, if the game continued in balance.
Without a '9' reference, Osasuna he lived relatively comfortable when it came to his goal. The Athletic I could not find how to get to the goal of Sergio Herrera. On the contrary, the Pamplona team was very clear about how to harm. Especially on the right side of the rojiblancos. On the first play of the match, Jony placed a ball to push her Enric Gallego, but the attacker must have just seen that he did not believe it and nodded high.
After half an hour, again Jony returned another ball to the area where Ruben
Garcia He nodded against the foot of Oblak and touched the goal again. Almost like little before Roncaglia, with a shot from outside the area that brushed the crossbar.
Osasuna he'd had his in the first half. Vitolo, who played on the left, slipped into the area and put his body in a very intelligent way so that Roncaglia swept him away. Joao
Felix he scored with a great shot, although the goal of the Navarrese team shot very well.
DOUBLE STICK
As it happened before him Betis, the Athletic he changed his nature with the party in favor. The second half had a completely different start, with those of the Cholo much more clairvoyant to generate chances and disarm his rival. As soon as you start, a hand of Oier, reviewed by VAR, ended in maximum penalty. The second. Joao
Felix He tried to repeat but the ball hit the post. The rebound reached a belt that sent her to the clouds, very forced.
The Athletic He wanted to finish the game to avoid accidents but wasted opportunity after opportunity. belt crashed a ball to the post, the Argentine also a heads up with Herrera after a masterful pass from Koke, Vitolo another crusade in excess …
Osasuna I was offline and the Athletic kept the ball and moved it intelligently, with a Koke outstanding. He deactivated the rival pressure, which was obviously no longer so intense due to wear and tear, with a good ball handling. The rojiblanco team has many records. Too bad I don't use them more often.
In this context, with Osasuna already with changes in the field, the Athletic a remarkable collective move was scored, with a great extension of the head of Llorente, which ended with a great pass from belt for what Joao mark shot from the large area line. Fifth goal for the Portuguese – second consecutive double – to be the top scorer and to show that the team has thrown on its back. As they said a few days ago Saul Y Oblak about his Portuguese partner, “the bastard is very good.”
TIGHTENING UNTIL THE APPEARANCE OF TORREIRA
The 0-2 did not completely lower the fumes of his rival, who brushed the goal with a shot from Roberto Torres to which Oblak, disguised as always Superman, stopped flying his squad. Where his powers did not reach was the head shot of Budimir at 79 '. Measured center of Robert
towers and a somewhat candid defense of Savic, who was allowed to win the position by the Balkan, who did not even jump to finish off his head. A goal that put pressure for the final part of the clash.
It seemed destined to suffer to the end, but it appeared Torreira. Let's not forget that the Uruguayan was a forward at the beginning and he showed it. An arrival to the area, with a pass that he controlled first and that he hooked with a shot that went to the squad. Golazo.
