Although it has so far provided unconvincing ability, Atletico Madrid made it clear last night (Tuesday) to anyone who forgot, that they are still the Spanish champions.
After finishing their last two games with a 0-0 result, the Colchoneros managed to make an impressive comeback yesterday against Hattafa and pick up three very important points in the fight in La Liga.
The hero of the victory was Luis Suarez who with a dramatic double in the 78th and 91st minutes turned this result around after he and his teammates fell behind in the 45th minute against the team that has not yet won this year in Spain.
"He is no longer as fast as he used to be, he is not participating in Atletico Madrid's high pressure game as usual, but Luis Suarez is still deadly," it was written after the game at Marca.
The veteran striker was also dissatisfied and said at the end: "I am happy with the result. We fell behind but we knew how to come back with a lot of character, and more in the final minutes. I am convinced that the change we achieved will contribute to us later and shoot us the energies."
Atletico coach Diego Simeone as usual was less happy in terms of ability but remained optimistic: "There are other situations the team has to deal with and difficulties we have to overcome. We did not look the way we wanted to look. The opponent made it very difficult for us, they are not going to come all season "They arrived in a vulnerable position. At the start of the game, what we were looking for was control, but we did not show sufficient intensity and speed. We are waiting for our key players to reach their best ability."
Don Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz.
Little more to add.
