Atleti is like David Broncano: it went from resistance to rebellion in a matter of months. He has moved from resistance in the field to agitation in the field as he rages. He is the great mover of this championship. And the great unknown, too. How long will this fantastic streak last? Will a revolution last five months? Will the team be able to maintain that spectacular balance between starters and alternates? How long will they last physically? A physical trainer, from Piñedo should make a statue in the perimeter of the Metropolitano? Am I asking too much?
The truth is that the team practiced again, with great results, its once famous counterattack. Atleti have been great experts at this method, and in reviewing some of the recent goals scored by madrid movers I can see that many of them came as a result of Madrid’s counter-attack. So on this day of the lottery we come back to the reverse lottery. I like teams that specialize in counter attacks. I think tricking your opponent into lulling them a bit and then suddenly moving towards the opponent’s goal. pure magic
So, despite what Roncero says, it’s a great, red-and-white Christmas.
Furthermore, the balance of the team with the starters and substitutes, the balance of the group is a joy to see. Two substitutes scored the winning goal in the last match against Barcelona. Nahuel Molina assisted and Chorlo scored. The other day I heard the great Kiko Narvaez pronounce Sørloth’s name on the radio like this, and that’s how it stays with me forever: Chorlo. We put the crossed line in the middle of the first “o” and that’s it. charlo
We are very much alive, we who died not so long ago. I’m one of those who thought we were missing the La Liga train in October, I admit it: I don’t know football nor do I know the Norwegian spelling, Chørlo. Carry on, son. We need you.
Come on, Chørlo Simeone.
