Narration: This is how we live the game
Classification First Division
Since there is no time to look back, it is best to look at the present.
And the present says that Atlético is the highest scoring team, with
Suárez
as top scorer (4), and the least scored in LaLiga.
And that, in addition, he has a whip like
Llorente
, capable of shaking a cloudy night like the one he lived in the beginning against Betis.
Because in the end nothing was what it seemed.
[Narration and statistics: 2-0]
Whether or not that was the plan, the reality is that Atlético didn't smell the ball during the first half.
Betis, conscientiously molded by Pellegrini's chisel, put it in his pocket.
And not only that, he went looking for her, as if they were hungry wolves, every time a rojiblanco player tried to find a solution.
If it weren't for the color of the shirts, someone would have thought that the locals were the green and white.
For half an act, Simeone's boys, with the fresh aftermath of their nightmare in Munich, chased shadows and waited between flushes for some short circuit in the Sevillian armor to open a door for them.
Whether or not that was the plan, the reality is that Betis attacked the Oblak area with an effort similar to that of Bayern, although with much less effectiveness, of course.
The gloves of the Slovenian goalkeeper repelled the Betic adventures twice.
Tello's speed down the wing left victims on the grass.
Trippier and Savic only saw the comet pass by.
And Hermoso, back to the left-back, managed to respond to Fekir's outbursts of genius.
Atlético was little more than two crossed shoes by Luis Suárez and two errors by William Carvalho, which he drew at the minimum because he is no longer there to run youngsters.
In LaLiga, his sharp trigger is still enough.
Torreira, clean in Vigo, put Simeone on the verge of a defibrillator, when he lost a ball in his own area for trying a ballroom dance step.
A handful of things happened in that first act, but none that suggested anything good.
Perhaps the freshness, power and speed of Marcos Llorente, who has become Suárez's third partner at the start of the season.
But yeah, maybe that was the plan.
It is not understood otherwise that just 50 seconds after returning from the changing rooms, Atlético left Betis with a fool's face.
Well, rather Llorente, who split the green-and-white defense like an ax, left Mandi battered and tricked Claudio Bravo, turning what seemed like a simple center into a blow.
Simeone's ensemble shook, as if what had happened so far had been nothing more than a bad dream.
Along the way, Lemar and Torreira were marked.
Between that whip that was Llorente and the new spirit, already with Herrera next to Koke, the rojiblancos, how could it be otherwise, they once again seemed the owners of the stadium.
And from that moment on, nothing was the same again.
If that was the plan, for Simeone, once again graceful against Pellegrini, it came out perfect.
With a favorable wind, he used the boy Joao Félix to write the epitaph.
The wind blew even more in their face when the VAR corrected Mateu Lahoz and turned Montoya into a red what he was initially painting yellow.
And Suárez, who leads the scorers table, lowered the curtain.
