Even with the Betic dominance of the second half, the
Atlético de Madrid had the option to win the duel in two final actions of strap, both saved by the Chilean Claudio Bravo. “It gives a lot of anger that does not mark strap for everything that works. If he continues like this, the goal will come, he deserves it, “he said. Simeone.
Surely not a few rojiblancos supporters remembered in those final moments the absence of the Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez, who was sanctioned for having received his fifth yellow card against Sevilla, and at the same time suffered an injury in training last week that could leave him out of the next two league games.
That perception would not be misguided, because the comebacks of the Athletic have been signed in almost all cases by Suarez. The Uruguayan striker, rojiblanco ‘top scorer’ with 19 goals, has been the author of the key goals of five of the last six comebacks of the leader.
He made the 1-2 against Alaves in January; 1-1 and 2-1 against him Celtic that then the Argentine tied Facundo Ferreyra (2-2); the 1-1 and the 1-2 final in Eibar; 2-1 against him Valencia (3-1 at the end); and the 2-1 that settled the last comeback against him Athletic. Solo did not participate with a goal in the comeback of Athletic on grenade (1-2), when Correa was the author of the winning goal.
His absence – also that of Marcos Llorente placeholder image, second top scorer of the team with 9 goals in The league, come down before him Betis by penalty- is key in the scoring ability of the Athletic, as it ensures a goal for every 1.84 shots on target, according to official statistics from The league. Joao Felix scores every 2.14 (7 goals in 15 shots on goal) and strap every 3.75 (4 in 15). It only improves you Llorente, with one goal every 1.77 shots (9 in 16), and the Uruguayan Luke
Torreira, who scored in his only shot on goal.
The calculations published by various media -the Athletic did not officially report on the seriousness of the injury- they place the return of the Uruguayan in the match against him Athletic on San Mamés or the Elche in the Martinez
Valero. Before Atlético will receive in the Wanda
Metropolitan to the Eibar and the Huesca, who fight to save themselves.
After visits to Bilbao Y Elche, the Athletic will face the momentous duel against Barcelona in the Camp Nou On May 8 or 9, which looks like a real league final, it will receive Real society Y Osasuna and the championship will end in Valladolid. Eight days in six weeks in which you need to resist if you want to take the title.
