He Atletico Madrid took another step to break the hegemony of Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Spanish League: defeated Alavés 2-1 with a goal from Luis Suarez about the end, six minutes after his rival partially tied the duel for me. Thus, it leads the standings with 38 units, two more than Merengue. Although, of course, he has two games less than his contender, which is an extra advantage in the bid for the Iberian crown.
Faced with an adversary who is in the bottom lot in the table, it was difficult for the Colchonero to find the victory. he played with an extra man during the last 27 minutes, due to the expulsion of Víctor Laguardia. But just before the last opportunism of the Uruguayan, one of the top scorers in the League (9 conquests, like Iago Aspas and Gerard Moreno), managed to breathe.
Cholo waited for his players at the edge of the field to greet them, once the victory was consummated, the twelfth in the contest. When it was Captain Koke’s turn, he made a gesture that the cameras captured and it became viral. He put his index finger and thumb to his throat, with a half smile, a sign that his genitals had been stuck there from suffering.
“The rival has a very good way of competing, he has done it especially in the first half, he did not let us progress. We try to win the match. We had the plays to close, we did not do it, we neglected and came 1-1 ″, analyzed the causes of the suffering of Aleti.
But he highlighted the positive factors that gave him the victory. “The most beautiful thing was how the team did not get nervous, sought to associate and reached the goal, which was a great goal. I was happy because we got a victory that cost us a lot ”, he stressed.
Of course, for a coach like Simeone, so attentive to details, it is by no means an option to believe that Atlético Madrid can parade towards the title. “We have to continue in the same line. The League is complex, it has traps, and the second round will be tougher due to the fight not to be relegated and because of the places in the Champions League and the Europa League ”, the Argentine DT warned, in a phrase that he surely pronounced before the microphones, but then he replied in dressing rooms.
