He
Atlético de Madrid
It is where it should be, where it wanted to be, when the competition resumed two weeks ago. The objective is clear, to finish in the top four. Everything other than being in the next season in Champions it would be a catastrophe of titanic dimensions. It would jeopardize the viability of the sports project headed by Simeone. Thats why he Athletic he needs, precisely, to continue on the path taken in this restart, a draw and two victories. Like his own Simeone He said in one of the last training sessions “on Tuesday you have to fly”, with the same intensity and success as in these last two collisions.
The wins before Osasuna and Valladolid must be ratified in the match against the I raised this Tuesday (7.30 pm) in Camilo Cano de La Nucía. Atlético managed to put land in the middle with their pursuers in the last day and hence the importance of staying on the road to victory also against a granota team that is not particularly good at home. Just a triumph in the six visits since Simeone took over the team. Just the Barcelona surpasses Levante as the most damaging place for Athletic. Cholo will not be able to count on the injured
Vrsaljko
and
Felipe Augusto Monteiro. Beyond that, the coach will continue with his policy of changes regarding the last game. In this sense, players like Savic, Lodi, Thomas, Saúl, Koke, Diego Costa and maybe Angel
belt. None of them was a starter before the Valladolid. The rest of the players, the usual ones.
Opposite, a Levante that is also in a great sporting moment and results. Since returning from the break, he tied in the derby against Valencia (1-1), also took points from Seville (1-1) and won with solvency at Spanish (1-3) to position himself with 38 points. Those of Paco lopez, who has never won Atlético, has 12 points over the descent, so that objective seems to fall short of eight days to finish, thus making the dream of the Europa League it is not ruled out. The coach of the Valencian team recovers for this match to Ruben
Rochina, who could not play the game against him Spanish by sanction. Could make, again, changes in the starting eleven, although players like Miramon, Clerc or Vezo they seem fixed.
