To the missing film director Jos Luis Cuerda, the beginning of 2020 of the Atlantic would have given him a script of the most surreal. What if a derailment in Len, before a Second B. What if one injury after another until adding 19 this season. What if a Super Cup buried in the penalties of a derby in the desert. What if a striker like Edinson is chased Cavani to cheer up the gesture for Simeone (and the team) and just returning home a midfielder, offensive but midfielder, like Yannick Carrasco. Leave, leave! That a striker in the area is always a striker in the area, the Argentine technician would have said if he had been one of Cuerda's actors. Last night, thanks to Correa, the only healthy forward, and after three straight losses and no goal in favor, I woke up in the Wanda Metropolitano, which is not a small thing.

And it began to happen because the Atletico climbed out to its captain. Koke, absent in LaLiga for injury since December (he lost five games), came back stealing the first ball to Granada and giving Correa the first league goal of the Atlantic in more than a month. Chance or not, the youth player walked around when Eteki Y Duarte they collided like two bowling trying to clear a ball in the area. A simple throw-in was the simplest formula for the only rojiblanco striker who survives on the grass to break the fateful spell he came along with his own. Because with Koke, located ahead of Llorente and Thomas, his team recovered the soul and much of the tactical sense lost in the January desert. Sometimes he is not perceived on the lawn, but he is always worsening when he is not there. I just suffocated, like the team. But waiting for a 9 to come back, good is your breath.

The Atlantic lit the duel with a good dose of vitality and energy. He already did it at the Bernabu, but there was a lack of the toe that Correa had this time. Speed ​​and nerve that led Vitolo to whip a span of the goal of Aarn, the Andalusian goalkeeper who premiered in Primera. However, these positive symptoms were attenuated as Granada grabbed the firm and thought that there are still a few days to try to assault the sky in the Cup. Diego Martnez, the visiting technician, agit the board and, despite the numerous changes, the Granada balance the matter responding with the same energy received at startup. Roberto Soldado, always to the limit, examined again and again the forced and novel pair of Savic-Beautiful plants. But in the mud there are usually no fish.

Oblak's blow

Precisely a mistake by Hermoso, headline a month later by the sanction of Felipe, was able to entangle the Atlantic at the dawn of the second act. The rojiblancos responded to the backlash, their natural state, but the auction of Sal ran into the first serious mittens of Aarn. The Andalusians never gave up the party's timn. Unlike. I push towards the area of Jan Oblak while Soldier fluttered with his classic flutter while waiting for someone to give up. But his most poisonous shot, spur, which would have ended inside in front of any other goalkeeper, was repelled by the Slovenian.

Carrasco I stepped on the grass of the Metropolitan that I abandoned by surprise two years ago to enlarge its checking account in China. The Belgian, who executed the Andalusians on that excellent afternoon of October 2016, was the resource to try to calm the hot flashes of a shrunk Atletico and scared by the bad intentions of Granada. His speed and dribbling oxygenated his teammates in the final crisis. When the tremors were louder.

The Andalusians never gave up fighting and Simeone never really knew. Correa's goal ended up being a suffered and thin rope that the Atletico traveled in the Wanda like a tightrope walker. A mistake, quite rude, yes, was the condemnation of a menacing grenade that forced the rojiblancos to hold their breath until that last crner. Although the important thing, after so much darkness, was to wake up. In the background it did not matter how.
