Atlético is saved by the epic

PreviousLive Chronicle

In his disappointing journey, Atlético is breaking all the axioms lit up in the Simeone era.

This time it was a gritty game, with six goals at halftime between the two teams.

And a triumphant goal, two minutes from the epic, with ten players due to the expulsion of Felipe, hunted down by Mario Hermoso with a second scissors kick after missing on his first attempt.

At least, this contradictory Atlético had the pride to win a match that was an unprecedented bacchanal of goals and revealed another of the paradoxes that football is reserving for the champion.

The more he wants to get closer to Simeone's most classic mold, the more the development of the matches and the game keep him away.

It does not matter if the Argentine coach proclaims the return to the origins of 4-4-2, to cement,

to the mazacote and to turn Oblak's long kick back into the team's channel to avoid the transit of the ball through the center of the field.

This Atleti is a defensive ruin, who was going to tell Simeone.

Getafe, before Luis Suárez missed the penalty that he took from David Soria and conceded the first two goals that could seem definitive, nothing is now in this unrecognizable Atlético, they had already burst the seams a minute into the game.

Enes Ünal sat Savic down with a mere movement of his back and the Montenegrin had no choice but to bring down the long-running Turkish goalscorer.

The foul was executed with Óscar poison and Oblak was able to slap it to a corner.

The corner kick was not a goal because Cuenca, without even an Atletico player to greet him, botched the shot.

Red cards Felipe Monteiro (min. 57)

Without Carrasco, low at the last minute due to covid, and depressed as he is, Atlético clung to Correa's ingenuity.

On the right, like last night, or as a second striker, he has emerged as the red and white's great hope of saving the season.

He was the most clever at first by chasing an aerial ball and reaching the point, surprising David Soria and his sleeping defenses.

Later he tempered himself in the playmaker to filter a precise ball to the reappeared Marcos Llorente.

Cunha came to the center of this at the far post to push him after the ball had traveled through the entire Getafense area.

Fatalism

Two nil at 20 minutes, a potosí in the past, a low income now with a defense that cracks with a blow from the rival when he does not shoot himself in the foot, something usual so far this year.

And Getafe's first goal was another shot.

Again a bad clearance, this time between Lemar and Reinildo, gave Jantko a reel for a bitten shot that Borja Mayoral deflected.

Barely six minutes had passed since Cunha's goal and nine when he was hit in the hand by a corner kick.

Enes Ünal did not forgive this first penalty, nor the second, also at the hands, this time by Lemar.

To the bad game and the worst results for Atlético has been added the chronic fatalism that also seemed buried since the arrival of Simeone.

In a long quarter of an hour,

Quique Sánchez Flores has transformed Getafe into a great team.

He got up from 2-0 and conceded the tie to three coming out bossy in the second half.

And he wanted to be more so when Felipe lost his iron and embedded it in Arambarri's side.

Nobody like Felipe reflects the madness of the rojiblancos defenses.

Simeone reacted quickly to avoid bleeding.

He sat down Luis Suárez and gave way to Hermoso.

The game became locked.

Quique's changes were not definitive to finish off Atlético.

He didn't smell the blood in time and brought his rival to life.

Simeone refreshed the team by bringing in Vrsaljko, De Paul and João Félix, scapegoats along with Hermoso from the defeat at the Camp Nou.

Without great things happening, two minutes from the end another of the paradoxes of this Atlético emerged.

Their defenses can be more forceful in the opposite area than in their own.

Hermoso, as in the comeback against Valencia, swept away a header from João Félix at the far post after a long free kick from De Paul.
