Mallorca-Athletic, a duel of conflicting agendas

Atlético changes its focus of attention to LaLiga to visit someone in need Mallorca (4:15 p.m. / Movistar LaLiga). The rojiblanco team separates for the moment the quarterfinals of the Champions Leaguenext week’s second leg against City, to focus on what Simeone has been calling his ’14-match league’, which are the ones that the rojiblanco team had left to play when they lost to Levante and conspired to achieve the goal of sneaking into the top four of the table to play the next Championsminimum target set.

Since then six wins in six games, having kept a clean sheet in three of them. The Athletic live the best moment of the course and in that line you want to continue. For the rojiblanco team there is now nothing more than the clash of Mallorca and for the vermilion painting, of course, less. The Balearic team fights not to descend. Right now he is 18th, two points from salvation. To straighten the Majorcan ship, the club resorted to the experience and character of the Mexican Javier Aguirrewhich will premiere before its public after a week ago it premiered with defeat, on the horn, against the Getafe from Quique Flores.

He already warned cholos in the previous one, it is a duel of needs. Each one his own, but at the end of the day without margin for any of them. In the case of Athleticthe fight for the four positions of Champions it is very tight. And in the Mallorcathat of salvation, too. Simeone will not be able to count on the injured Gimenez ni Herrera nor with the sanctioned Angel Strapwho is serving his last game of sanction for the expulsion against Vallecano Ray. However, he recovers Carrasco, who could not play during the week in Champions. After the effort during the week Simeone can propose some change, especially in defense, forced by casualties and the doubt of Stefan Savic, who has discomfort in one foot. There is the possibility of the return of Carrasco to eleven or even the presence of Louis Suarez, although Simeone insisted, in the previous one, on pointing out several times that the path to follow is that of continuity. For there, the bet of the last parties has been the one of Joao Felix-Griezmann.

The Mexican will not be able to count on the injured Greif, Sedlar, Ruiz de Galarreta, Salva Sevilla and with the sanctioned Franco Russo. The local fans will take the opportunity to show their discontent with the latest arbitration
