Without goals in the last two games, something that had not happened consecutively since the league start, the Atlético de Madrid focuses on Sunday's duel against him Villarreal insisting on marking by way of strategy.
More than half an hour of the morning session this Friday for the rojiblanco team was focused on strategy and aerial play: both with corner kicks and lateral centers, in search of that goal that was denied in the defeat against him. Levante (0-2) and for the one who barely opposed in the first leg of Champions League against him Chelsea (0-1) in Bucharest (Romania).
Did not live the Athletic two games in a row without scoring since the league start, when the win at grenade (6-1) they were succeeded by two consecutive 0-0 in Huesca and at home against him Villarreal, precisely his rival next Sunday.
Since then, the rojiblanco team has only been left without scoring this season in six games of the 32 they have played in all competitions: against Bayern Munich (4-0), the Lokomotiv
from Moscow (0-0), the Real Madrid (2-0), the Cornellá (1-0) and the last two matches already mentioned against I raised Y Chelsea.
To turn that streak around and not make it the biggest unmarked of this course, he will seek victory in the La Cerámica Stadium, an unlikely place, since he has not won there since April 2015. Since then, his visits include three losses (1-0, 3-0 and 2-1) and two draws (1-1 in 2018-19 and 0-0 last season).
