Simeone’s offensive madness at the Mestalla

The match at Mestalla goes into playing time with 0-0 on the scoreboard. included Carrasco in the field in the left lane instead of Saulwho saw yellow and suffered from the attacks of Correia and Castillejo. Diego Simeone wants success at all costs. And he made a painful change. He took Kondogbia and De Paul off the field and brought on Griezmann and Lemar.

In the first action carried out by the French, came the goal of Atlético de Madrid. Stealing, driving and passing to Lemar and Griezmann finished, with the help of Carlos Soler, where the ball hit to mislead a Mamardashvili who was Valencia’s best player on the pitch.

The goal of being ahead on the scoreboard has been reached, but there is still about half an hour left to defend the result or extend it.

Atletico tried the second all the way, but repeatedly bumped into the Georgian goalkeeper. So it’s time to defend the 0-1. And Cholo did it with only two pure defenses on the field, those who both started the fight: Gimenez and Reinildo. They include midfielders Witsel and Llorente and the aforementioned Carrasco.

But there are also three strikerss (Morata and Joao first and Cunha and Correa later) with a Griezmann who acted in midfield with Koke and Lemar, an attacking midfielder. And contrary to what it might seem, Atlético hardly suffered. Because the attackers are heavy on the defense. Morata, Joao, Lemar, Griezmann… Everyone defends like it’s a final, sometimes in the place of the red and white team.

Four defenses on the call

It should be noted that Simeone appeared at the Mestalla with only four defensemen on call. The loss of Savic to injury and Nahuel Molina to suspension, along with that of Lodi, now a Nottingham Forest player, they left the back in the box. Wass left first, no replacement came.
