She is Atlético de Madrid At least he exceeds the first stage, removed by the triple tie and the difference in goals, without glue of other hours of Alexander Sorloth and Julián Alvarezwithout inspiration of Rodrigo de Paulbetween decisions and the failed plan of Diego Simeone against him Paris Saint Germainthe ‘surprise’ of 1-0 of BOTAFOGO to the France team and the fall of the months of Antoine Griezmann.
Simeone’s decisions against PSG
Throughout the preparation to Majadahonda, Simeone He asserted the pressure on the loss, in the team’s personality, the character to play, in the ability to have possession of the opposite field, almost always at 4-5-1, sometimes at a 4-4-2, but none of those appearing in the match against the meeting against the Paris Saint GermainOn June 15 to Rose Bowl from PasadenaNot recognizable, especially the first half.
He did not succeed in his reflection of the initial plan. Nor his promise to 4-4-2 or his decision to give ResurrectionNow the player who moves best at half a positional center and promotes the arrival of Pablo Barrios and Rodrigo de Paul’s freedom, or his promise to Samuel Linonot relevant to almost the entire course on the left, with a weakness sent by the band adjacent to Javi Galán.
Exceeded in each sector, especially by the volume in the middle, without the ability to solve it from the bench for the first time, the Athletic He left World In the first part, with the two goals of Vitinha and Fabián RuizTwo midfielders. The other two goals are decorated with failure, but they are not certain. The choice for Antoine Griezmann On that day for eleven, rather than Alexander SorlothHe was criticized.
Griezmann’s desire
Have not yet a more specific player in the last decade to Atlético de Madrid number Antoine Griezmann. Even in the first section of this season, until the past January, no one has been more decisive to more successes with their goals or assists than the French attacker, an important element in ten wins in all competitions, until, suddenly, he stopped. His collapse has been bright since January. Two goals in 24 games. He noticed Athletic before and now in Club World Cup, For everything that always depends on him. Holds without tinino against Psgalso victim of the team’s overall failure and at the best of the first part of the first part, his goal to BOTAFOGO This is not enough (1-0).
Sorloth and Julián Alvarez’s adhesive
His two best weather scorers suffered from failure to lack stuck. This happened Alexander Sorloth. Throughout the course he marked 24, 14 in the last 16 quarrels, with four more goals than advanced statistics.
Nor the usual effectiveness Julián Alvarez. There are 29 purposes in this training including the Rojiblanco Club, eight goals above the expectation, this Atlético figure has not succeeded in its three games as a starter in Club World Cup Neither in 262 minutes or in five shots, two in the area and not between three sticks. If there are no goals of the two players who have monopolized 46.9 percent of the goals of this campaign, the Rojiblanco team fell into two major quarrels of Group bagainst him Psg And the BOTAFOGOWhen he needs his most decisive players.
Defensive weakness
“We don’t have the strength to be asked by these tournaments. If you don’t have a offensive or defensive strength, you leave,” Diego Simeone said at the end of the rivalry with the Brazilian Club.
Because it’s not just an offensive issue, the Athletic He has long fallen into defense. In his last 20 games, he just held his frame at zero in seven of them. One of him Club World Cup against him BOTAFOGOespecially for two decisive stops of Oblak. 4-0 against Paris Saint Germain He apparently his defensive structure, not just his line from the four backs: four goals against and ten shots of his goal between three sticks.
In addition, he added another six out, within overflowing with the one who submitted to Athletic In some sections of matches. The first goal appeared from the left, with just one shot from Fabián Ruiz from the edge of the area, and the 2-0 of Vitinha It is through a ‘corridor’ of the undeniable environment. Pin away Clement lenglet, To the numeric weakness in the final stretch, the other two goals of Psg.
This is not just the winner of ChampionsShe is Seattle Sounders. Robin Le Normand, Clement Lenglet and José María Giménez Even the sides Marcos Llorente and Javi Galán) They reached this appointment to their ‘top’ course level.
Paul’s blackout
She is Atlético de Madrid This period is satisfied Rodrigo de Paul. Argentine’s midfielder reached a very high level from November to March where he wore the Rojiblaco team’s reaction with 15 success in succession, as a center solution for the exit, the move and the last pass. This is the inspiration of the mid -field team forward, in connection with Julián Alvarez, Sorloth And company … to World.
Its blackout is clearly indicated in the performance of Athletic. He holds three meetings, with 192 minutes in total, he has not successfully provided any center, nor inside or out of place; He was only connected to three passes with his companions in that decisive place; He barely suggested three deep passions; He did not finish the goal (only two outside) and did not provide help.
Decisions in arbitral
Among all these aspects, arbitral references also reduce more than added. To each and each of the three meetings, the Athletic He felt bad. He has the reasons for the complaint.
Against him Paris Saint Germain, Istvan Kovacs INvalidized a goal for a previous foul KOKE About Doué discussed, with 2-0 on the scoreboard; Not punish a Nuno Mendes (I don’t even whistle) in an action with Giuliano Simeone In the first half; He extended the fourth time from the end to Clement Lenglet For the yellow double and punished almost every lack of Rojiblanco team with a card, with seven admonitions and seven offenses.
Against him Seattle Soundersclaiming a penalty about Giuliano SimeoneAt first was punished by the referee Yael Falcón Pérez, but then fixed and cancel by Var and the vision of the monitor. He also did not teach or miss.
And, again, against BOTAFOGOthe review of a previous struggle of Alexander Sorloth In defense, one of the many events in the area, led the college César Ramos to leave the clear subsequent penalty about Julián Alvarez In the 40th minute, with 0-0 and a world to compete.
The ‘surprise’ of BoTAFOGO against PSG
Winner against him Seattle SoundersWhen Athletic The game ended with Lumen field On the second day with 1-3 in his favor he felt that there were many possibilities to pass. Needs are marked by the result of Paris Saint Germain against him BOTAFOGO. But he won, against the prognosis, the Brazil team for a goal from Igor Jesus, to shoot what the team demands of Diego Simeone up to a success for three or more than many or, failing to be, due to the inevitable journey of the current winner of Champions League against him Seattle.
The success of BOTAFOGO all views were destroyed. There is a difference between that marker and any other for AthleticBecause, won PsgShe was enough to win the last day, like a draw made. He was always there, latent, the disability of four goals against the previous companion of the France team, which would also be a ballast in the case of going to the Tiebreaker only with the Brazil team.
The final pressure
And was removed atlético. The final pressure; The conditions of a certain party against BOTAFOGO. and the same offensive problems of the whole contest, without a blow of Sorloth and Julianwithout the clarity of Griezmannwithout the final pass of Rodrigo de Paul, They ended up quickly, expected and failed to return to Madrid of the Rojiblanco team.
