Atletico this season it is, to say the least, strange for what he has accustomed to his people. Not only because of the bad results, which have been straightened out thanks to the last four wins in the league. Above all he has surprised by its alarming fragility, never seen in the Simeone era. The team concedes a lot of goals. And artificial intelligence confirms the sensations, although it reveals that it is a subject of extremes: Atlético is the team that best attacks in the First Division and, at the same time, the one that defends the worst.
According to the data it collects Olocipspecialist in the application of Artificial Intelligence in sport, Atleti is the team that has generated the most offensive value. The actions are valued according to how they improve or worsen the play, or in other words, if they move it closer to or away from the goal (and vice versa if it is defensive actions). And in this section the rojiblanco team rules, with an offensive value of +22.4, ahead of Real Madrid (19.7), Betis (18.5) and Barça (17.7). The attacking potential of the colchoneros is unquestionable, with João Félix, Correa, Griezmann, Suárez, Lemar, Llorente… And the team is especially inspired by 2022.
In so far this year, Atleti has scored 23 goals in ten league games. It only stayed at zero in the black night of Levante and in the rest of the appointments he celebrated at least two goals. In Europe, only Leverkusen (24) accumulates more since the Christmas break. In Spain they are followed by Villarreal (21) and Barça (19).

Olocip figures it at 8.7, while the teams with the best defensive performance would be the Real Madrid (20.7), Athletic (20.6) and Cádiz (20.6).
The rojiblancos, the team with the fewest goals scored in seven of the last nine leagues, they have received 36 points as far as this one goes. In the last one, of which he is champion, he finished with 25. The worsening is notable and that is why it is the ninth team that fits the most and doubles the figures of Sevilla (18), for example. Without a doubt, the evil to correct for Simeone and his is there, and that in the last five days he has only regretted two goals against…
