After the plot, a month of glory

Atlético lost on February 16 against Levante at the Wanda Metropolitano and Simeone experienced one of his worst moments in the rojiblanco team. That 0-1 did a lot of damage to the Madrid team and from the club they had to react. Gil Marín, Simeone and Berta met and there was a general conspiracy to reverse the situation and try to stop the free fall of the team. Everyone understood that the situation had become a limit and the team needed to swerve.

A month later, Atlético is another. A month after the conspiracy, Atlético is among the eight best teams in Europe and is fourth in LaLiga, in Champions positions. And the team seems different and remembers the usual Atlético with Simeone on the bench. A supportive, competitive team, difficult to beat… At Old Trafford they showed the best of cholismo and left the Premier team out.

Atlético has played six games since the match against Levante. The balance is five wins and one draw. They beat Osasuna, Celta, Betis, Cádiz and Manchester United, in the match played on English soil. And tied against Manchester in the match played at the Wanda Metropolitano. In total, 12 goals for and only three against. Stopping that bloodletting in defense was one of the great objectives of the Cholo team. He has achieved it and Atlético concedes few goals again.

Now comes the game against Rayo Vallecano and then the break. After it, nine days of the championship, in which the rojiblanco team must certify their classification for the next Champions League. After the break, in addition, Atlético will recover the injured. Right now Wass, Cunha, Vrsaljko, Lemar and Carrasco are in the infirmary.
