Falcao does justice at Metropolitan and dodges athletic victory

Irola’s team is not a comfortable opponent to face. An Atlético with steady growth in the region Champions after reestablishing himself in a colismo that he should never have left. They are tough opponents to decipher because they handle enough records to suggest very long matches where Isi and Álvaro García are in the gaps, or they bet on the solid feet of their players and weave the game from behind, bypassing the opposing defensive screens. It has been seasoned for years with the characteristic audacity of the club and the neighborhood.

Without Koke, the injured Simeone chose to defend the midfield with a trivote of Kondogbia, Witsel and De Paul. Griezmann, in his own way, and Morata, made the offensive offer as a puppet. It’s an attack that athletes have already recited by heart. Cholo wanted to push the match away from his territory and sent his own match there. To explore the consistency of Vallecanos, who placed Falcao in midfield as a buoy to avoid the mattress with long balls.

Griezmann’s hunger

Lightning lasted twenty minutes standing. How long did it take for Griezmann, who would sweetly arrive at the World Cup, steal a ball from Fran García and play a musical ball for Morata who was the first to open the score. This Atlético has once again regained their defensive aggression allowing them to punish every opponent mistake. He did this in the face of the enthusiasm of a Simeone who liked what he saw in the last matches. Metropolitano al Rayo was huge, a poisoned boxer in his ring in Vallecas. At these venues, capital Griezmann, who was seen again having fun and smiling in his sports shirt, always appeared appropriately.

Rayo rose resolutely from the canvas and showed no sign of resentment towards Morata’s director. rest of the first half Vallecanos danced around Atletico, who had settled into the center of the ring, patiently waiting for the moment to reconnect with Iraola’s men. Nothing remarkable happened before the inexperienced Iglesias Villanueva (Javier, not his brother Ignacio) sent everyone to rest. Cholo’s balance was perfect, as in San Mamés: shot on goal, goal. Maximum efficiency or effectiveness, it doesn’t matter.

Forced by the pointer, Rayo came out furiously in the second half. And Pathé managed to balance the duel with Ciss’ head shot. Vallecanos’ proactive stance caused the rojiblancos to bet on the block below and turn against him to seek punishment. Judgment or surprise, that was the dilemma. The match didn’t end with a decision in either direction, maintaining uncertainty and the approach of a non-moving Simeone (beyond Carrasco’s entry for the injured Lemar).

The camel spoils the match

Morata was second in the corner seconds before he was replaced. Cholo bet on street footballers for a neighborhood match, as against Rayo. Correa and Cunha went out to tickle the Vallecanos and were able to punish the duel first, but the Brazilian was selfish and did not help the Argentinean. Iraola also expanded his team with Comesaña and Camello for Valentín and Pozo. The duo entered the opponent’s distance. Nothing could have been predicted that the game would end as it was.

And the rojiblanco junior team Camello, which Rayo showcased to show off, looked dazzling. A game full of magic enlivened the conflict, with Grbic grabbing the post and assisting Falcao, who could not finish the first shot and shot. In Atlético there is no pleasure without suffering, and in the final moments of the game the dose of suffering was revealed. Griezmann, who was at Valverde or Lewandowski level, was a few millimeters ahead. The duel ended with the fields opening up, the teams going in with everything, and the defenses shaking on every opposing offense. And in these, there was a game that ended in a VAR penalty for a handball after Giménez shot Nteka. Maximum foul where Falcao awards Vallecano’s drive. El Tigre did justice to its old community. A well-deserved draw that reminds Atletico that leaving opponents alive in the ring is still not a good idea.
