Direct, that's how we live it
With the minimum and by the minimum,
Atlético de Madrid
defeated
Getafe
to close 2020 as the
leader of the First Division
and without a single defeat in the
Wanda Metropolitano
.
The rojiblancos were enough with a good start and a goal from
Luis Suárez
to knock out the azulón team, which again stumbled against a stone that has already left a signal: since
Simeone
sits on the Atlético bench, he has neither beaten nor has managed to score a goal.
18 games, nine years and the count goes on.
Luis Suárez's goal was worth to add the three points and would have been valid for a video of great predators.
As soon as Suarez's eyes grab the ball, they no longer release it.
Every movement within the area becomes instinctive and anticipates a shot that no one sees yet.
The Uruguayan took advantage of the half-second of doubt that followed
Lemar's
short heel
to lose
Djené's
mark
and plead with
Carrasco
with his eyes
.
Those eyes that, with the ball in the air, already betrayed that the shot had it in mind, a header in which he turned his neck 180 degrees to send it close to the post.
Big game prey.
As against
Real Sociedad
, a goal from a set piece to unseal the score with a serve from Yannick Carrasco.
In
Anoeta
the shot was by
Hermoso
and here by Suárez, who already has eight goals, half of those he did last season with Barça, but in only 11 games.
The Belgian perpetrated with Lemar some of the most dangerous arrivals of the first 25 minutes, the best of the rojiblanco team.
Without Nyom or Damián Suárez
, Bordalás had to completely reform the right wing and Carrasco found himself in front of a debutant in First, Juan Iglesias.
The goal endorsed the good start of this Atlético, which, without losing ground in defense, allows joys with the ball that once seemed alien.
Before opening the can, before the result sent Getafe out, that 3-5-2 to which Simeone has changed was at times a 3-4-3, with
Koke
as the only midfielder, Lemar and
Marcos Llorente
as interior and the two lanes high up.
On one side Carrasco to the other
Vrsaljko
, who was finally able to debut in the League.
He is the first opponent to fill the gaping hole that
Trippier
leaves
.
The other, already in the second half, was Llorente, the man for everything.
The Madrilenian added the right-winger to the list of functions he has performed since he arrived at Atlético.
And this time, for the needs of the script, with more work behind than galloping up.
Getafe grew as a result of the goal and already in the first half had chances to have drawn, one from
Ángel
and the other from
Etxeita
.
Good positions, but bad shots, not far from what the Azulón team is experiencing this season.
Although it is true that he has never managed to score a goal against Simeone, this time it was due to lack of series.
Only
Cádiz
has scored less.
The Bordalás team was never a party in attack and this year, which for a while also lost its pulse in defense, it is seen only two points above relegation and reserving a capital man like
Arambarri
for a match against
Valladolid
that will suddenly it's a direct duel for salvation.
There is still half a season to go, but those points are now more important than I imagined three months ago.
The improvement of the last games still does not give him to get out of trouble.
Getafe managed to make Atlético uncomfortable as it did in better times, and dominated at times in the second half, but despite the impulse from
Portillo and Cucurella, it
never
bothered
Oblak.
The chances were no more than timid warnings, but on an uninspired night Simeone finished the game with four centrals to save the victory.
A triumph with little brilliance, but of those that also build Leagues.
