The Atlético took advantage of the game what had postponed and defeated Athletic with much suffering. Three gold points that served to increase the rojiblanca advantage over Barcelona and Real Madrid, who are six and eight, respectively. A quite favorable situation for Simeone's, although not at all definitive. The leader cannot relax and will visit Getafe in a state of maximum alert. The statistics are beastly in favor of Cholo in the clashes against the azulón team: 16 wins and two draws; a goalscoring balance of 34-0. Something practically unheard of in modern football (follow the game live on AS.com). Simeone knows that statistics are not of much use and are there to break them, although if it could be another year, much better. Despite what the numbers say, Getafe always gave Atleti a lot of war and today nothing else is expected.
It is true that Getafe is no longer that of yesteryear and now you must be concerned looking at the classification. Out of 13 home games he has won five and has missed many points. But the set of Bordalás still very recognizable. Mata will be dismissed by penalty, but at the top will be Ünal and Cucho and Cucurella returns, an interesting and resourceful footballer. If Atlético does not watch over him, he will create problems. On the bench, ready to revolutionize the game, Angel waits.
On the back of Luis Suárez and Llorente
El Cholo, meanwhile, loses Felipe, but recovers Giménez. The leader usually already concedes in all the games, so he needs more than one goal to win. And for this it has Llorente and Luis Suárez, who with their goals are deciding the championship. The Uruguayan arrived wanting titles and smells the blood. As soon as the team continues with the line of until now, it will be able to laugh out loud at the end of the season. But he still has many goals to score. What of Llorente It is incredible, it performs well in the place that they put it. From the beginning he could play again with Koke and Lemar in the middle.
João Félix is not with so many laughs, starter against Athletic and stopped with a foul every time he had the ball. We will see how Cholo manages the end of the campaign with him. For now It seems that Correa will play from the beginning at the Coliseum. Recover the best version of Portuguese, and also of Saul, is the challenge of the technician. The most important thing remains and João has to step forward. Although for an important step, the one that Atlético must take in Getafe in its fight towards the title.
