Huesca extinguishes the fire of Atlético

He Athletic did not go beyond the draw in his visit to El Alcoraz against a Huesca very well planted. The rojiblancos went from less to more, who ended up living in the Huesca area, but the vertigo of the final minutes was not enough to return to Madrid with the three points. Joao
Felix It was the best, but not enough.

The staging in El Alcoraz had little to do with that of Sunday in the Metropolitano in the rojiblanco debut in the league. Starting with eleven, with five changes. Koke, Coast, Carrasco, belt Y Savic they stayed on the bench. They entered Llorente, Suárez, Vitolo, Thomas and Hermoso. Intention had the rojiblanco team, but from the beginning they found a very well planted Huesca on the field.

Luis Suarez, in his debut as a starter, he tried to delay his position to download, just like Joao, on which the people of Huesca wove a positional network each time it moved to receive. Thus, the rises of I gave it was the only resource Atlético had (and their centers weren't the best), with Vitolo Y Llorente no depth per band and Trippier shy. A lot. In the middle, Thomas Y Saul they did not speed the ball.

The team of MichelWell armed, he trusted everything to the cons to try to surprise. And he was the first to do so, through Mikel Rico Y Seoane, this to set pieces. It took 25 minutes to see Atlético's first shot on goal. A foul that Joao sent upstairs. Between the three suits, nothing in the entire first act. The mattress box did not find spaces, which did not suffer in defense either. But more was needed to return to Madrid with the three points.

Saw it Simeone, who left on the bench at halftime Vitolo, inconsequential, to get the stirrer belt. Llorente went to the left wing. And a pitch of his went skimming the crossbar after Joao take off the hat to break lines. Then threatened Thomas. And answered Ferreiro after a bad clearance of Philip, somewhat unsafe all afternoon. Spaces began to appear at game time.

Joao he pulled magic again to draw a beautiful pass to the hole that left only Suarez before Andres Fernandez. He wanted to cut the Uruguayan, and ran out of space. It was the last action of the Uruguayan, who left his place to Costa. Llorente did the same with Carrasco. The four of the attack, the same ones that started against Granada.

The Portuguese was looser. With more ball. Closer to the area. But it was not enough. Had it Carrasco. Correa was not correct in controls that should be decisive. Coast it stuck without success … And the minutes flew by. Joao He kept asking for them, in an Atlético overturned against a locked Huesca. Andres Fernandez He stood out before a shot from the Portuguese, with the team completely behind him.

Tie. Step back from an Atlético that left two points in El Alcoraz against a Huesca that defended the 0-0 with nails and teeth. The Aragonese put out the fire with which the rojiblanco team came.
