Atlético takes it seriously and thrashes Cardassar

He Atlético de Madrid solved the tie of Cup before him Cardassar, with a good game, very serious, in which he was not surprised. Those of Simeone learned from the mistakes of last year before the Sports and Cultural Leonesa. The mattress box gave no option to his rival, the modest Cardassar Mallorcan, who always showed his face and who thrashed with so many Lemar and Ricard in the first half, and Sime
Vrsaljko in the second.

By the way, great game, again from Lemar, which shows that the player has got on the boat of this Atlético and every time he has less distance to fight even for the title.

Simeone he left important players in Madrid. To almost all the headlines (Oblak, Joao, Koke, Suárez, Carrasco, Trippier…) but brought out a more than recognizable team. Only one player from the subsidiary in the eleven, Ricard, and three from the first team on the bench: Manu, Vrsaljko and Saponjic, that not even before a Third was a starter.

In front was the Cardassar, a team of “currantes” (bricklayer, waiter, plumber, teacher …) for whom the game was the one of their lives. And they were the first to shoot, after a mistake of Beautiful. Febrer He shot high, but made clear the intentions of the Majorcans, who came out folded, with five behind and leaving Atlético to have the ball up to 35 meters from their goal.

The mattress team is not good at playing against such close teams. Narrow field. And the grass was artificial. But with what was related in the previous two paragraphs, any excuse would be banal and hypocritical. While the mattresses were made to Es Moleter, Lemar I asked for all of them. He wanted to continue his 'recovery'. It was played in 20 meters. And Correa appeared to test Ángel from outside the area, who responded perfectly. The goalkeeper, a waiter at ERTE, shone again with a double intervention before Lemar first and Torreira then.

Atlético was overturning, but another mistake, now Philip, left alone Miguel before Grbic. Fell asleep and Kondogbia and the Brazilian avoided greater evils. Then Felipe headed wide for a corner. The colchoneros accumulated chances, for whom it was difficult to create them clear with more than 80% of possession.

Hitting from the outside was the most logical option and one that Atlético doesn't usually use on evenings like this. But Lemar He tried again. Again with the right. But this time the ball, after hitting the post, went inside. Good goal from the French, whose desire was awarded in minute 24.

Ahead on the scoreboard, Atlético continued to control the crash. Less came. The following remarkable starred him Saul. And not for the better. With no ball in between, the rojiblanco captain kicked Paul Soler. He saw yellow. And thank you that there was no VAR, because it was red. He apologized, but that is not done. Ricard, which debuted, made us forget that action in Es Moleter. Because a great goal was invented. He went up to the right, received the ball, cut in and, with his left, his less good leg (bad, nothing) put him in the squad. Break.

Did not jump into the field Pau Soler, the player who was kicked by Saul, and who had limped away. He Cholo made no changes. belt it was still at a good level in punta, its natural site. As well Lemar. The one that did not just start was Vitolo, as Saul. Both imprecise in their actions. Worrying about the Elche. It shows even on his face, in his gestures. Better were Kondogbia and Torreira in the double pivot, especially the French, crying out for more minutes. Covering the field and improving all the balls that passed through his boots.

And the time came for Saponjic. And that of Camel. Minute 70. Many months later, the Serbian had minutes again. For the fourth time in a year and a half, since he signed for Atlético. 67 had joined in his rojiblanco journey. Lemar (again the most prominent) and Vitolo they went to the bench. belt passed to the right wing. And in the first, Saponjic put a golden ball from the right to Camel, who met Angel to avoid the goal.

Reappeared Vrsaljko. And he did it in a big way. Scoring another goal for a band that had left 'blessed' Ricard. Half of the goal was Torreira, who drew a wonderful 40-meter pass behind the defense. The Croatian arrived to put the interior and celebrate with anger the goal. It will help you gain confidence.
