Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid face each other this Sunday. The whites with the aim of giving a blow to the League and the rojiblancos with the intention of staying alive in the race to revalidate their title from last season. The Sanhedrin of El Larguero, from Cadena SER, analyzed the keys to the party.
Antonio Romero focused his analysis on which of the two teams, Madrid or Atlético, is going to have possession on Sunday: “I have a question about football, taking into account how Ancelotti is playing this year, Real Madrid is not unhappy without the ball and Atlético de Madrid does not usually want the ball. Let’s see who is going to get her. It will be a different derby. “ On this subject, Mario Torrejón has no doubts: “I don’t believe that on Sunday at the Bernabéu, playing something against your lifelong rival, Madrid will give the ball away. Another thing is the European teams, who can physically be superior to you. Madrid wants to win the game, but the draw is worth it. “
Miguel Martín Talavera, for his part, is clear that the league title can only escape Madrid if it collapses: “Atlético this year has players to have more of the ball. Koke, Lemar … that said, everything Whatever Atlético de Madrid is not expecting, I would be quite surprised. What is clear is that there will only be a league if Real Madrid collapses, as happened to Atlético de Madrid “.
Mario Torrejón: “I don’t believe that on Sunday at the Bernabéu, by playing something against your lifelong rival, Madrid will give the ball away. Another thing is the European teams, who can physically be superior to you. Madrid wants win the game, but the draw is worth it. “
The Sanhedrin also analyzed the physical states of Benzema and Luis Suárez, both of which remain doubtful for the derby.
Romero understands that Benzema’s loss would be more important for Madrid than Luis Suárez’s could be for Atlético: “Let’s see how you can convince Benzema, if he’s well, not to play the game. That he can’t play Benzema hurts Real Madrid because the replacement is Jovic. The difference between Benzema and Jovic is abysmal, but between Suárez and Cunha right now it is not so much “.
Talavera is convinced that the Uruguayan Atletico striker will not recover in time for the derby: “Suárez does not look good for Sunday, it is very hasty. To say that it is good for Atlético de Madrid to lose a player as decisive as Luis Suárez … “.
The crisis in which Barcelona finds itself was another of the topics of debate in El Larguero and, far from exculpating Xavi, the Sanhedrin considers that the Barça coach is not spared from burning either.
Romero points to Xavi as one of those responsible for the bad image given in Munich: “Yesterday Barça was a mess. The coach is also to blame, it wasn’t just something from Piqué. “
Torrejón considers that Xavi has followed Koeman’s line: “In Xavi’s first final, he puts the veterans, who It’s something Koeman would have done. “
Lluís Flaquer, for his part, calls for a revolution: “Yesterday’s party singles out veterans. Barça demands changes. He’s been playing the violin for a long time, maybe he’s starting to play the electric guitar. “
