Joao Félix's anger with ... Simeone ?: "Always the same, always the same!"

• Chronicle Hugo Duro mortifies Atlético in Mestalla with two goals in added time

• Classification This is how the general is in First

When Héctor Herrera and Joao Félix appeared at Mestalla, the matter seemed settled. The presence of the Mexican and the Portuguese seemed like a simple procedure to close a match that they believed to have resolved between

and

. They were all wrong. Also the part of the public that left their seat with that change. An Atlético de Simeone had never given such a wide advantage. In fact, it seemed like a sin that was already part of a story almost banished from memory (it happened for the last time in 2005, against Mallorca). However,

appeared

in those eternal minutes of added time and the victory slipped through the hands of the rojiblancos. Just like 10 days ago in the Ciutat de Valencia, just four kilometers from there, when a controversial penalty brought down the house of cards. This tie, without a doubt, stings much more.

As soon as Hugo Duro completed his double, just 10 minutes after that double change, the camera focused on Joao Félix, who directed his gaze towards the bench. A: "Always the same, always the same!" Seemed to come from his lips. An explosion of rage for an indigestible draw that rather tastes like defeat. With him they will have to live until the return of the national team break. In that period of time, with Joao and Herrera recently landed on the pitch, a conquest that Atlético believed they had in their pocket fell apart. Because no one expected Simeone and his boys to happen what had never happened to them before. That a team was able to overcome two goals.

"For me, and I have told my players, they played an extraordinary game. 85 wonderful minutes. The coach made a mistake and the team lost (two points) because of the coach,"

confessed

to Movistar cameras. emphasizing those 85 minutes.

Herrera and Joao Félix came in for

and Luis Suárez, respectively, in the 87th minute. Without the Argentine midfielder in the middle, Valencia pounced on Atlético's neck.

The only thing Joao could do in that time was to cry out a helpless cry to the bench, while Duro and his teammates celebrated the draw.

Seven goals in five games

That dynamite-proof solidity, the hallmark of the rojiblanca defense, seems a thing of the past.

There are seven goals in the last five league games (he bolted his goal against Betis last Sunday), for a total of 13 in 12 games.

There are six goals conceded in the four nights of the Champions League and five in the two rounds against Liverpool.

Since May 8, with that scoreless draw at the Camp Nou, Oblak has not returned to Madrid unbeaten.

They are seven consecutive games in First receiving some scratch away from home.

Three more adding those of the Champions League.

The return of

not enough

. On the contrary. The Montenegrin made a fortune bankrupt. First with that clearance from his friend

that ended up bouncing off his body to become Valencia's first goal. And, in that fateful minute 96, having to observe from less than a meter how Hugo Duro headed a heroic equalizer that unleashed madness in the Mestalla stands and impotence in the rojiblanco sector. Simeone received the bite by resting his head on the cover of his bench.

It wasn't a defeat, but it did taste like such.

, the rojiblanco captain,

expressed it

at the foot of the pitch, with phrases that exude a touch of general attention: "We have to feel what we do in the matches. They tie us for lack of attention."

"We have to have more attention, they can't tie us like that."

"Many of the goals we get are from set pieces. You have to be alive. Today is as if we had lost."

"It will be good for all of us to disconnect because it has not been a good month."

And Simeone, with his head and heart at a thousand revolutions, after experiencing a comeback in his own flesh, insisted again: "It was a great game, with 80-85 very good minutes. With great personality. Unfortunately, today we were wrong" .

Until the 20th, against Osasuna in the Metropolitan, he will not have the opportunity to try to remove the thorn.
