Lawnmower A Valium, please
1-2 at the Camp Nou Barcelona is a calamity
The League is advancing at the pace of a
thriller
towards a denouement loaded with attractions, except for the capitulation of Barça, which added shame to its very few options with a defeat at the Camp Nou against Celta. A
Koeman
did not accompany his players in his act of vindication, while
Zidane
begged him not to leave while they dried sweat the little they have
left after winning in San Mamés.
Simeone
does not need one or the other. He is the master of Atlético, the owner of his heart, although subjecting him to such tachycardia is reckless.
Atlético kept the banner, with two points ahead of the neighbor in the absence of a match, after failing the unspeakable, cursing the VAR and seeing how Osasuna got ahead.
Luis Suárez
returned for the goal at the right moment.
There he will need it in Valladolid, where the only proof of local life is to prevent the rojiblanco alirón.
Who gives more?
The advantage of Simeone's men is two points, but the tie would not serve them, as long as Madrid win their match against Villarreal, because the tiebreaker in equality benefits those of Zidane, better in direct confrontations.
The need, then, simplifies the rojiblanco approach: on fire.
The problem is not the production, which was enough against Osasuna, but the definition.
Unlike his counterpart, Simeone has virtually all of his players to choose from.
He cannot forget that, at the most difficult moment,
Joao Félix
jumped off
the bench to change the game.
The last battle is not the time to debate, but Atlético is in it with all its banners raised thanks to those who represent quality and punch in its purest states.
The title is going to need both.
Between quality and the end
For Madrid, the biggest advantage is the alleged disinterest of its rival, concentrated in the first final in its history, the following week in the Europa League.
However,
Unai Emery's team
deserves to be considered in any circumstance.
Their starters have football and their substitutes have it, because they grow with the food of the game.
Since they know that their great objective is Europe, they have won in the field of needy Valladolid and have beaten nothing less than Sevilla.
If something is not going to have in Valdebebas it is ballast in the legs.
LaLiga maintains the appointments on Sunday, at 6:00 p.m., although Villarreal interests recommend moving the day forward to Saturday.
Send the television, which does not want Eurovision as a rival.
Zidane will appear again with what he has, but, at this point, it no longer seems vital.
The key will be in the management of emotions, especially for Atlético, which is the one that defends its advantage and does it against a Valladolid that struggles to preserve the category.
Those of
Sergio González
, however, have to take risks, because what they served other result than victory.
Atlético will have spaces.
The first goal
In intensity, however, there will be no comparison between the two shocks.
The first of the two contenders to get ahead on the scoreboard will put a lot of pressure on the second.
Madrid did it in San Mamés, but Atlético managed to overcome it, even despite Osasuna's goal.
Going through that trance made Simeone's men feel like champions, although this has not ended.
The League lacks the last cry, although the best and the highest paid in the world can no longer give it.
The suspense of the League will be followed by the suspense about the continuity of
Messi
,
Sergio Ramos
and Zidane.
I said, a
thriller
