Atletico and Espanyol's La Liga match, in the end, Atletico won 2-1, in fact, this game is similar to the first game of the season, that is, Atletico scored in the last minute. Atletico's first leg should also be about 100 minutes of playtime, the team scored a goal in the last minute, this Atletico did not perform well, but it can indeed win, after this win, Atletico is three points ahead of the fifth place, should be the same points as Sevilla, so Atletico now have the opportunity to sit around and look around. Take a quick look at this game.
Atletico defenders have not performed well this time and it looks like the players are a little tired
Atletico defenders are not doing well, people are helpless, of course, for Atletico, this game can see a lot of problems, that is, tired, after playing Manchester City, this team is actually very tired, and that game did happen a lot of things. The performance of this defensive line is very general, the team actually has a very troublesome problem now, no matter what the idea of the center-back, it seems that in the end it is Savage and Felipe as the core, the center-back is not only playing four or three center-backs, it seems to be the same idea. This shows that there is a shortage of centre-backs in the team, and that felipe and Savage will always have one person who will have a problem, which is also very realistic. So this year's Atletico has a lot of problems, mainly in the centre-back.
Full-backs or wing-backs played generally, in fact, in the recent atletico good performances, Rainierdo basically started, which shows that he is very important. After all, even if there is a speed defender, this team still needs to buy a center-back in the offseason, see who Simeone will buy, right? This team is basically going to change the center-back core in the offseason.
There are many problems in the midfield, in fact, Atletico now looks like there are really few people in the midfield
The obvious problem that can be seen now is that there are not many people who can really use the Atletico midfield, and after Cork can play the game, it is still the starting choice. Condobia and LeMar are the players that the team's midfielder looks like they will definitely choose to use, of course, plus one DePaul, which is basically the team's main midfielder recently, in fact, these four midfielders can be used recently, but except for DePaul, the rest of the players are unstable. Condobia has had a few good performances, and this game can actually be seen or the technique under the feet is rough.
Cork, to be honest, although he is the captain, he is really not suitable to be a starter now, and the speed decline is too obvious. Roddy and Llorente look versatile, but playing on the wing can only play at the level of these two. Cork really wasn't too honest as a starter anymore.
The performance of the front line was even worse, in fact, it was tired, Carrasco still performed well on the bench, and in the first match, it was Carrasco's goal that allowed Atletico to reverse the victory
The problems with the front line are obvious, tired, this game has its own ideas, Felix and Correa started, belonging to the idea of not really starting a center. The forward performance is not good, after all, the Spaniard is not afraid of the good skills under the feet, afraid of the highly skilled players, this start is still problematic, Carrasco came off the bench and still performed well. This is very interesting, because Carrasco is a bit back to the first game, scoring two goals on his own to let the team win again, the Spaniard played Atletico twice, the defense is good, but it can't prevent Carrasco, it's really interesting. Players with speed are still good to use, and the Spaniards really can't defend to catch up with him.
So Atletico wins, or by speed, really strong. But the team is obviously tired, but the pressure behind the game is a little less, the team now has a three-point advantage, and the game will be better.
