Well, the conclusion for the Athletic it’s good Simeone’s team continues to take steps to meet again, to settle down, to assert his many virtues and minimize all those failures that predominated in the first two thirds of the season. beat the Celticbeat him well, with great news in the form of the appearance of players like Kondogbia O Lodiwho have taken a step forward at a key moment of the season.

The first surprise came from eleven, the same one that was measured a few days ago at Manchester United on Champions League. The few tests that the team had carried out since Wednesday pointed to the ownership of men such as Griezmann, Handsome o de From Paulbut cholos He gave a final script twist and bet on the eleven who had faced the English team and who had left a great impression.

For a team like the rojiblanco, which has not had a recognizable eleven throughout the season, it is already a novelty that Simeone begins to lay the foundations of something similar to one. Of course, it is difficult to think that it is the definitive one without names like Koke, Carrasco, Lemar, Griezmann O Suarez. What seems clear is that the cholos he is betting on those he considers to be better off at the moment. And the results prove him right.

The first chance came after five minutes with a shot from the edge of Llorente who caught Hard. The man from Madrid moved towards the center, as on other occasions, to shoot with his left foot. The ball bounced before reaching the South American goal but he stopped it well. Shortly after it was joao felix the one who looked for a hole from the front and shot looking for the farthest stick, but with too much angle. Correa also tried it from outside the area, with a cross shot that again Hard stopped.

The Celtic I was looking for the spaces well when the Athletic He went on the attack and as a result of a great counterattack he had a very good action. Denis Suarez sneaked into the area, raised his head judiciously and put it to a Deer who already sang the goal. reinildo he lunged like a panther to prevent it from entering.

The Athletic tried to come out with the pressure, intensity and speed shown before the Manchester United, but the Galician team had a higher energy than the English. Hence, Simeone’s men had a hard time generating chances continuously, but when they did they saw a goal thanks to one of these new creations from the cholos. The idea of ​​placing Lodi almost inside left, taking advantage of the fact that reinildo He has more defensive ability and can play as a third centre-back, he has paid off in the last two games.

Before him Manchester put a center that was worth the goal of Joao Felix. Against him Celtic, it was Lodi himself who opened the scoring. He did it with a move that he already tried a few days ago. a center of Kondogbia into the area, in which the Brazilian planted himself in front of his marker and overtook him with a quick movement to the outside to outline and shoot. The auction was dry and low attached to the post where Hard it was not expected. The Brazilian has virtues that adapt perfectly to this new role.

From there, the Celtic took a step forward to the rest, quite deep precisely on the side of reinildo and Lodi. Of course, without finding that final pass that would give the actions a real danger.

LODI AND KONDOGBIA AGAIN

The game moved in the early stages of the second half, with a Celtic brave who did the Athletic defend closer to his goal than he wanted. However, it was Atlético who struck again with the same team as in the first goal. Kondogbia He found Lodi in depth with a remote-controlled pass and the Brazilian hit it quickly, almost a pass to the net rather than a shot, and the ball slipped under Dituro’s legs.

Simeonewho saw that several rojiblancos players had lost their physical fitness after the effort of a few days ago, and brought in reinforcements.

From then on, Atlético settled down again with great chances, like one of From Paul with a great shot to the square that the goal of the Celtic took out, another of joao felix that went high, a spectacular shot from Griezmann from outside the area that left close to the post… Another direct foul by the Frenchman who once again stuck to the squad…
