The Atlético de Madrid
debuted with a draw (victory on penalties) in his first preseason game, the one played against Numantia in El Burgo de Osma, in the Jesús Gil Memorial. The rojiblanco team, with only three players from the first team in the starting eleven (Oblak, Hermoso and Saúl) showed signs of being little shot against a rival who had only been training for four days.
At a general level, few conclusions can be drawn when the vast majority of the squad was not on the pitch, but it was demonstrated that the quarry took a step forward, showing that Diego Simeone that you can count on it if you need it, both now and during the course. The eleven mattress had a very low average age.
It took the kids three minutes to put on the first medal. Giuliano Simeone he put body to fight a ball divided in the Numantine area, he took it, with the red center ending up on the ground due to the crash, and put the so-called death pass. Sergio Camello spread her legs to let her pass and Mario Soriano, at pleasure, he opened the scoreboard in the Municipal del Burgo de Osma.
These three players, along with German Valera, were in charge of initiating the pressure of the mattress team when the ball reached the central Sorianos, which allowed the mattress team to regain many possessions. The Murcian winger left high-quality details, as well as Alberto Moreno in the midfield next to Saul.
The performance of the two full-backs was also positive, Ricard Y Medrano. Especially the Catalan, very intense in the first half and easily reaching the vicinity of the Numancia area.
In the second half, after a carousel of changes, men like Huntsman, Highlander, Riquelme, Borja Garcés (very intense and mobile) or Red They also left details to take into account, although it is true that the central, who ended up as captain, already has an experience status that has little to do with that of his teammates, after his assignment to the Besiktas.
In short, what good impressions of the Atlético de Madrid youth players in the first friendly of the summer against Numancia. Assistance, goal, work, intensity and impudence at the service of the Cholo
Simeone, who took good note from the Municipal bench.
