Simeone
is not infallible. He is also wrong and entangles his Atlético in a confusion that cost him points at the Ciutat de València. He wanted to show off his offensive talent, line up the envied
Joao Félix-Suárez-Griezmann
trident
and unprotected
his team's
core
against a Levante so drowned that he never had anything to lose. The
Pereira
team
, in addition, had the fortune of face. It is not possible to qualify in another way to enjoy two penalties against a team like the rojiblanco. And he didn't waste them. Pure survival, even if the first victory continues to be denied him and he continues to be condemned to the well of the table. [2-2: Narration and statistics]
Knowing how nerves sharpen when misfortunes accumulate, Atlético came out to squeeze the uncertainty of the granotas in times of need. He did it with self-confidence, without almost opposition and taking advantage of the seams that the rival exhibited on the shores. Griezmann appeared there constantly, leaving Joao next to
Malsa
to get closer to
Koke and Herrera
trying to direct balls to the area and to Suárez. The trident seemed perfect to hit a Levante that returned to the script of ordering back. It was a matter of time, but the Portuguese soon launched the first warning by lowering a ball from Herrera with his chest in the front and snapping into
Aitor's
hands
. Fogeo announcing zafarrancho.
The rojiblancos were comfortable with the ball, without letting it go and tying an opponent short, who when launched in the race is always unpredictable.
He did not have time to do it without already having the scoreboard against him.
From the first corner kick, Simeone's team took advantage of it.
Pure faith of Griezmann ready to be reborn in rojiblanco after 637 minutes without scoring.
The Frenchman threw the corner badly, rejected the defense but went back to hunt him down to, this time, place him at the head of
Felipe
at the far post.
Powerful in the jump, the Portuguese thanked him by returning the ball to the first for the Little Prince to score.
His seventh goal against Levante and the one that places him on the altar of rojiblancos scorers with
Gárate
.
Wake up the Levante
In 12 minutes it seemed that Atlético had done their homework and was climbing the peloton that is chasing Real.
However, he slept on his laurels.
The ball began to pass more through the boots of Levante, who executed lashes with which to stand in the area with more or less success, but dragging Simeone's team.
Herrera and Koke looked overwhelmed.
Morales was once again the commander on which the Levante is sustained and
Oblak
had to appear.
He grabbed a forced heel from
Rober Pier
at the exit of a corner in which this time the second play took its toll on Atlético: Suárez overwhelmed Vezo and
González Fuertes
pointed to the penalty spot.
Bardhi
could not fail and did not.
Simeone did not like to see his team so unbalanced and he reconverted it by singing a mea culpa.
His experiment to make room for the trident, clearing the center of the field and betting on five behind, was not successful.
They returned from the locker room with a delicacy from Joao that Suárez did not catch at the far post, but the Argentine was clear about his plan.
The first move was to give the command to
De Paul
in command and push Correa into the area taking out the Uruguayan.
Then he forgot about the three centrals and gave
Lodi
the band to gain depth by tying the granotas escapes.
To top it off, he looked for the gunpowder of
Cunha
sent to the bench to a disappeared Griezmann.
The three movements stirred Atlético to lead him to a victory that seemed complicated because, although surrounding Aitor's goal, he showed no spark.
Rodrigo De Paul then appeared to drive a ball into the area, drawing a corridor between the Granota defenders and serving Cunha an opportunity that the Brazilian did not miss.
While the rojiblancos changed their skin to overcome,
Javier Pereira
the squad, with significant casualties, barely gives him to distribute efforts and avoid discomfort.
With a good idea of how to tie up an infinite rival, he did not give to subdue him.
It was then that the VAR call appeared to warn the referee that some controversial hands from Lodi had escaped after a shot by the newly incorporated Jorge De Frutos.
Levante had the chance to save a point when the game slipped away and Enis Bardhi did not waste it.
