At this rate, Athletic de

he is going to need viagra to 'splice' two consecutive victories. There is no way. And that he had just deservedly overcome an entire Atlético de Madrid in full final arreón with the leadership of the League at stake. But no, not this time either. Not against a Valladolid that is in the qualifying antipodes of the colchoneros did they get it.
It is like an unprovable axiom. Athletic cannot chain two victories in the domestic competition. And period. Still subscribed to the tie, nine with Marcelino. It is capable of the best and the worst within hours of each other. Regularity in good play is conspicuous by its absence. He brutally destroys some and behaves cowardly towards others, as he may, as happened with mattresses and pucelanos.
To be fair, it must also be said that the rojiblancos have only lost two games in a row on one occasion. It was at the dawn of the season, on October 1 and 4, in our already famous and particular disaster of Trafalgar against Cádiz, with one minus the entire second half, and against Alavés in Vitoria, also one to zero, without He didn't even shoot at goal.
Against Atlético he made a demonstration of physical power, of desire, of pride to get off the canvas and face the leader face to face. It was the brave and vertical team you are looking for Marcelino. And with a consignment of hungry youth.
Against Valladolid last Wednesday, similar actions were glimpsed, but errors returned in both areas, and that is how the chances of competing for seventh place that would have allowed them to return to Europe next season.
