Direct Narration and statistics
With Luis Suárez on your side, life is usually better.
But that alone is not enough.
Atlético knew it well last night, which was sailing at full speed, up on its tusk, but ended up receiving a blow at sunset.
One of those that leave your face quite red.
The fifth double of the Uruguayan course seemed the solution in a harsh night, against a fighter and nonconformist Celta, who did not want to resign himself to his luck and ended up finding a prize (2-2).
Atlético once again experienced a sensation that is no longer so new.
Celta, as Eibar and Valencia had already done, in two of their last three previous games, took the lead on the scoreboard.
He had also done it on the green, where he started with more vigor and joy than the local team.
From the right flank, where Lodi offered no resistance, Hugo Mallo sectioned the area with the permissiveness of
Felipe
, who continues to try to find that formidable center-back who marveled before the pandemic, so that Mina would undress
Oblak
.
It's been almost a month since the Slovenian goalkeeper has not gone home with a clean sheet.
And that, in the case of the Slovenian, and in the case of this Atlético, it does attract (and a lot) attention.
The uncomfortable swarm formed by Aspas, Nolito, Brais Mendez and Denis Suárez did not allow a respite for the rojiblancos central trio, in which Felipe came to walk on the wire of his second yellow before the break.
They were moving in search of the Oblak area at another speed.
Coudet
had studied his compatriot Simeone in detail and demonstrated it by holding the untouchable leader of the League for a long time.
El Cholo had to rebuild his puzzle after the morning positives from
Herrera
and
Lemar
.
The absence of the Frenchman would have gone unnoticed at any other moment of his adventure at Atlético, but not now, when he was looking his best.
During (almost) the entire first act, Atlético was uncomfortable, like few times this season.
The bands, one of the master ingredients in his recipe, barely worked.
And
Rubén Blanco
, the celestial goalkeeper, must have rubbed his eyes a few times at the little hustle and bustle he had experienced in his area.
As if they actually owned the Wanda.
But the rojiblancos cables weren't quite bare.
All you needed was duct tape.
The claw of Ferreyra
So, Kondogbia, until that pointless moment, in his first staging as a starter in the League, discovered Correa, who is always there, and the Argentine looked to his right, where he first appeared, as a locomotive,
Marcos Llorente
, converted to a right back due to the whimsical script that Simeone has and that only had to aim at the heart of the area.
They don't even need to look.
Everyone knows that there, in one way or another, as it happened, Luis Suárez will appear.
And the Uruguayan gunman, with his revolver in silence until the sunset of the first act, drew.
After the break, Simeone changed the argument.
I remove Felipe, just in case, and returned to the classic system.
But the formula for success is invariable.
At the moment,
Kondogbia
again
opened the band, this time to the left, that of
Lodi
, who repeated with his left foot what Llorente had done before from the other side.
Because when in doubt: balls to Suárez.
The second that came, of course, he ended up inside.
He is the difference between normality and excellence on which this Atlético moves.
He has already added 16 goals and seven in the last four games.
With a favorable wind, Kondogbia stole the glory from Iago Aspas, but could not quell the last breath of Celta.
On the horn, the newcomer Ferreyra appeared to trip the leader.
That is not little.
