It is clear that The numbers do not lie. If there is something in the elite sport that shows the truth about the figures and in the case of Atlético, They say they have said goodbye to the league championship. There was no doubt that after the defeat against Barcelona before the league stop the title became more than complicated, but in a club whose motto is ‘Never stop believing’, there was still hope.
But that illusion has lasted what has taken national football to return. Six points from Barcelona and with a less disputed match, with two consecutive losses, three days in a row without winning and only two victories in seven league meetings, It is impossible to face the two greats of Spanish football. Therefore, just when LaLiga de Luis Aragonés had started, when the dates in which the champions decide, the rojiblancos can already be focused one hundred percent in the Copa del Ree arrived.
The Argentine coach defends that the competition is not yet finished for rojiblancos interests.
Despite how much it has been written about Atlético’s template, there is no doubt that It is not as extensive as it seems and the fatigue caused by international commitments It has been noticed to the point that the second unit of the mattresses has not been able to win at the Espanyol stadium.
Above and below
With those of above and more remote, at Atlético they cannot forget the teams that come below. And it is that Athletic, a fairly reliable set this season, is only five points with a less disputed match. About it and there is plenty of title options, JAn Oblak said: “We must not think about that. We are not having the necessary regularity to fight LaLiga. We are losing points and the teams that come from behind are approaching. It is a rare moment, a difficult time that we are not being able to win our rivals. ”
In this way, the rojiblancos must focus on the semifinal of Copa del Rey against Barcelona and the Club World Cup. Undoubtedly, the appointment against Los Culés in the Metropolitan this Wednesday will be the great game of the season. It will become the day that the year will definitely decide
