• 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.
