With the intention is not always enough. Atlético appeared in Granada with good purposes, but left with the same face as usual when leaving the Wanda Metropolitano. He tried to hurt, in his own way, the iron Andalusian team, but died trying to climb the fence. Lodi warmed the atmosphere but a corner kick brought him back to his natural state. Two months after their last victory away from home (Mallorca), those of Simeone were halfway again. Even Morata turned off the tap. Another headache

It seems that Atlético no longer asks the body to get carried away. He did not do it in the last episode before the break, in front of Espanyol, and also at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, in the middle of the biruji that emanates from the Andalusian mountains, on the Nuevo Los Cármenes. There, however, he ran into a Granada willing to not deliver a single inch of his grass and recover the lost momentum after three defeats. Without Thomas or Saul , sanctioned, without Diego Costa, Savic and Giménez, convalescent. Simeone's boys didn't think twice, driven by a heart that this time did beat. Herrera and Llorente , without stridence, swept and pushed theirs towards the goal of Rui Silva . Later, the Mexican would write another brilliant line in his brief history as athletic. And still, the most poisonous blow was local. Doors discovered that Oblak has tentacles.

Atletico took control without poison, but Granada did not give away a blade of green. It was his and it was not a matter of delivering it at any price. A fight for invisible spaces. Only the enlightened ones, like Vitolo , discovered some corner in the middle of the sea of ​​legs. The canary has changed his gesture somewhat to his team and has become a lustrous solution for difficult times due to casualties and unveiling for the goal. Of course, gasoline would not reach the end. He looked into the abyss Correa with a second yellow that lurked in the environment and vehemently claimed the Nasrid team. Roberto Soldado, warm-blooded, did not bite his tongue in search of arbitral justice. There was tension, a header of Morata without aim and little more than to put to the mouth.

And in the thick mental fog, suddenly two defenses. Lodi was discovered by Herrera, self-taught due to veteran issues. He alone rocked the ball gently to the area and found the Brazilian side, turned into a dagger. Just what Simeone has been looking for since its first day in Madrid. It was an ephemeral high because Granada returned everything to its place, minutes later, with its most predictable gesture. Although Atlético was warned, Germán , after a corner kick, shortly before being injured, found the intestines of the Oblak goal. It was when the board definitely became a minefield.

Local armor

The Granada stopped to put something in his mouth and Simeone looked Joao Felix in the eye. The first thing the Portuguese did on his return, a quarter of an hour ahead, was to knock on the door. Deviated, but at the door. It's simple, but not everyone dares. A different footballer who must now grease his machinery. He has lost six games by a sprain (four from LaLiga and two from Champions) and Atlético has missed his freshness and imagination, despite his intermittency. Something to hold on to when you lose the smile on your face. It was not enough because the Andalusian barbed wire was electrified.

The quarryman Darío Poveda , scorer of the subsidiary, chosen to occupy the emptiness of Diego Costa was released. And he dived in the Granada area next to Morata, trying to catch some joy in the noise. It was the only possible solution. He was hit in the foot when he was willing to push the victory, but neither the referee nor the VAR wanted to turn the destination. When the icy Sierra Nevada air blew into Atlético's face, he realized that he had missed another chance. It's been two months without winning away from home and LaLiga doesn't wait.
