Atleti B is still immersed in the battle for not falling two categories. The rojiblancos did not achieve permanence in the First RFEF, which will begin next season and now they play not to descend to the Third. For this, the rojiblanco team began the new phase with the 19 points he had added in the League (the fourth with the best balance, four points behind Melilla, first) and started his new journey on the wrong foot falling at home to Socuellamos 0-1.
But, the last two days have returned the illusion in the second mattress team. Since the arrival of Antonio Rivas to the bench, Atleti B has been imposed at Villarrubia's house and from Villarrobledo by 0-2, having to suspend the match against Melilla in between due to an outbreak of coronavirus in the rojiblanco dressing room. Right now, Atleti B is third with 25 points, one behind Socuéllamos (his next rival), but the rojiblancos with one game less and three from Melilla, against which he will have to recover your pending match where in the case of victory it would equal him at the top (the first two classified and the two best third parties among the three groups maintain the category).
And in those two away victories, very good feelings have arrived, with the step forward of the main figures of the team in the fight not to lose a new category. With San Román very confident about his goal, without conceding any goals in the two games he has played, the defense has been strong and sure when it comes to maintaining the advantage that the men at the top have given it. And in the two meetings the evolution of Mario Soriano has once again become clear. The 19-year-old youth squad who just turned 19 and who made his Copa del Rey debut against Cornellà under the command of Simeone, has established himself as the player who pauses and touches the center of the field.
But, in addition, it is being definitive in the areas. Against Villarrubia he scored the first goal taking advantage of a great center from Ricard and being the smartest in the area winning the first stick and against Villarrobledo causing a penalty that transformed Toni Moya. Promoted since the beginning of the year from the youth, Soriano has grown a lot during the season, with his ability to play backwards, give a clean kick to the ball and cause fouls when the team is suffocated on defense. Despite his small stature, it is extremely difficult to snatch the ball from him and he is already essential in Atlético's second team.
Javi Serrano gives a pass with Atleti B.

The most veteran of the squad are also taking the reins of the team. Camello, who failed to hit Villarrubia from the penalty spot, yes took advantage of an error in the defense of Villarrobledo to score his fourth goal of the course. Antonio Rivas has chosen to place the reference Camel at the top instead of the system with two battering rams by Nacho Fernández (where Giuliano Simeone used to accompany him) and his '9' is responding to him, also with the evolution of Luis Forcen and Davo from the bench. Toni Moya is showing his stripes with two good games ruling the middle and also adding a goal from the penalty spot where it has cost the team so much to hit this season.
All this escorted by a Javi Serrano who is also one of the great names of this new phase. At 18, he was gaining prominence with Nacho Fernández and with Rivas he has taken a position in the center of the field as the player in charge of stealing and leaving at the beginning of the plays. Behind the defense is still settled with Camus, giving freedom on the right ahead of Ricard, Álvaro García, Marco Moreno and Fernando Medrano. Some good results that they want to endorse on their visit to Socuéllamos on Sunday, wanting revenge and to show that the result of the first leg did not do justice to what the rojiblancos showed on the pitch. A key party to continue in the Second RFEF with its main figures plugged in.
