The bad aim of Atlético crashes against a hero in Almería

• Classification This is the League

It cannot be easy to accept the new reality, that of being far from the front page already in January, that of having to get rid of stars and, furthermore, without being able to stop fighting for the crumbs.

That, finding motivation in the remains of the shipwreck is the great challenge of an unrecognizable Atlético, without a soul, without football, but also without aim.

A draw in Almería to advance in a nebulous season.

The impressive saves by

were like vinegar on the rojiblanca wound, each day further away from third place.

[1-1: Narration and Stats]

At the Power Horse Stadium, after Barça's punishment last Sunday, it was confirmed that from now until June everything will be a thorny road for the rojiblancos.

And the prize, if there is one, will not be to walk Imperious: being in the top four is simply an obligation.

But the competition is enormous and the team is flan.

's sparks of talent

is not enough.

The first 45 minutes were significant.

When the genius of the Frenchman invented himself out of nowhere, because nothing had happened until then in the sunny stadium, a goal with his not passing

, a wonderful technical resource by letting

's assist pass , it didn't take Atlético even five minutes to fade badly.

The local reaction was not exactly the Blitzkrieg, but

's men shrank as if they saw giants, to the point of changing their tactical drawing and going to a defense of five.

And that

could have made it 2-0 in a corner, a save (the first) by Fernando.

But Atlético was no longer fueling the thrust of

's men , who woke up as if an anti-aircraft alarm had sounded.

masterfully took control of the tempo.

Until the inevitable came, the tie.

After the blow, and the previous backward pass, it was now a labyrinth for Atlético, who looked for some air with

after the break.

He allowed himself to be dominated by a brave and meritorious Almería, there were arrivals for everyone, but in the middle of the second half the key moment of the afternoon would arrive at the Power Horse.

There were a couple of bullets in the chamber of a crouching Atlético, but those electric flashes crashed into the hero.

In two minutes, 73 and 75, Llorente, the most incisive ever, scored two balls.

And neither

first nor Correa later had enough aim.

It was a manual on how to miss occasions, Fernando's merit at point blank range, feline reflexes.

And right there, still ruminating on lost opportunities, what could have been and was not, Cholo rewinded again, as if intuiting fear.

He seated Correa and gave way to

.

Another step back that definitely killed the game, in addition to the red card for

.

A distribution of points that does little to help both, Almería in its fight not to burn out and Atlético in the pursuit of a train that escapes without remedy.
