He who won in the derby was the Barcelonawhich now has a golden occasion to get closer to the first two. He Athletic He took a point that, as the game raised Simeoneit was the main objective before starting the clash, while the real Madrid He will continue asking the referees and will take positive things and others not so much from the derby. The positive thing is that, when it is put on, it is a team with mood and desire, that it can harm; The bad thing is that his decisive men, such as Vinicius and MbappéThey are not in their best days and it costs him a world to attack when the opponent locks himself. That is why it was better when he pissed off with the referee and with the world and had to go for the goal with decision. It was better than the Athleticbut he didn’t give him to take the encounter.
The game was what he wanted Simeone until the Madrid changed marching in the second part. But before the break, all the arbitration controversy, messages in the networks of the Athleticthe letter of real Madrideverything tense or hot that the encounter had put on, was diluted because nothing happened. That was, in short, what the rojiblanco coach wanted. There are teams that complicate life to Madrid going to press the ball out, and others that await you behind. He Athletic It was one of those. He joked Simeone The day before on putting the bus. He did not put it, but a van. He waited and covered holes. And to this real Madrid It costs him enough to harm when he can’t run. The top men almost always give a touch of more, the bands do not contribute enough and have both both in the middle, Ceballos and Valverdeto finish the whole encounter. They went to those who removed Ancelotti In the 80th minute of the second part. For fatigue or by politics. Lucas Vázquez He started on the right and Tchouaméni He played, quite successful, central.
Although he was the player who made the penalty, the turning point of the match. The referee did not see him, but from the VAR they warned him that the reconverted central Madrid had stepped on Linen After the ball passed by. Seen on the screen, it can be whispered; During the game, it is more debatable.
He whistled and Simeone He already had what he had looked for: that if something happened, that if the script broke, be in his favor. Until then, his team had shown good defensive attitude, order and little ambition. The objective was that the Madrid It did not run, and throughout the first half, the plan executed perfectly.
The goal, things in life, laid well to real Madrid. It is as if he needed an inception, something that clicks him to really attack, to move to another rhythm. Be the need or the rage of feeling mistreated by the collegiate, the Madrid He presented a much more competitive face, an attitude with which the meetings against the big rivals can be raised, and one of them is just around the corner.
Did not suffer back more than rarely, when the AthleticIn the end, he discovered that there was a opposite goal and, instead, he was adding arrivals. Not excessively clear, but already with a constant rhythm. Was Rodrygoright now the best of the three above (and the only one that was changed), who did more damage to the right of the attack. An arrival of his to the background ended with a pass to the area that Bellingham He finished awkwardly, but what Mbappé Yes connected well.
The best minutes of the real Madridhappy with disorder, bustle and fear on the rival’s face. Disorderly al Athletiche was able to run, he felt that the fans push him and had the game in his hand.
But those above did not have their best day and the Athletic I was clear that the tie was even better loot than I thought and had to tie it.
With the passing of the minutes, the fever of the Madrid It decreased and also the occasions. Ancelotti changed the center of the countryside, then he took out Brahimbut he didn’t find the way ..
