Juanmi reigns in the umpteenth absurdity of Atlético and resurrects Cádiz

TAB j28-cadiz-atleticomadrid-liga23/24 Chronicle 4 Atlético jumps onto the Nuevo Mirandilla grass as if the game was not about them. Cádiz proposes a slow rhythm and Simeone’s men have no objection to this being the case. Inaccuracies flood the possessions of both teams, unable to generate quality actions beyond the midfield line. The closest thing to an opportunity in the opening bars comes through a combination of Llorente and De Paul that Lino misses by inches. Robert Navarro is the light that illuminates a dark encounter. The winger receives the ball on the right wing, dribbles past De Paul on his way to the left zone, plays a one-two with Javi Hernández and gives the ball to Sobrino. The man from La Mancha crosses first and Juanmi, in honor of his status as a mouse in the area, takes advantage of the land between Hermoso and Paulista to head Sobrino’s excellent delivery into the net. The first play worthy of a First Division match puts Pellegrino’s team ahead. Samu Lino, Navarro’s red and white counterpart, although less inspired than usual, is the only threat to Ledesma, with two shots that fail to disturb the Argentine goalkeeper’s peace of mind. Memphis tries with a volley, but the two lines of four are a wall for the predictable and harmless mattress possessions. Atlético is saved from a penalty against them just before half-time, after the VAR ruled out a handball in the Paulista area as more than doubtful. Simeone, aware of the horror of the first half that his team has experienced, revolutionizes the team with three changes after passing through the locker room, bringing on Molina, Riquelme and Correa. The Argentine striker, despite his poor season, is a breath of fresh air for the rojiblanco attack. After a trademark turn, he finishes with his toe in true futsal style, but Ledesma saves without problems in Atlético’s most dangerous chance so far in the match. Cádiz is entrusted with feeding Juanmi with balls so that his mischief and his sense of goal take care of the rest. An elbow touch on Paulista’s back helped the man from Malaga get rid of the Brazilian, pick up Javi Hernández’s long delivery and go one-on-one with Oblak. An unbeatable opportunity that, even with a somewhat bitten definition, is not wasted to double the Cadista advantage and delve into Atlético’s crisis when it leaves the Metropolitano. Simeone considers the match lost and distributes his efforts for Wednesday’s European match against Inter. Lino and Koke head to the bench so that Vermeeren and El Jebari, a Moroccan youth player who makes his debut with the red and white, enter. The Andalusian team had accumulated 23 games without winning, but Atlético’s visit became the most peaceful game of the season. With the exception of a great save by Ledesma from a header by Llorente, the problems faced by the Cádiz defense are minimal. Two points separate him from salvation and the Nuevo Mirandilla fans celebrate the resurrection of their team. While Atlético once again puts in a dismal performance as a visitor, it moves away from the fight for second place and observes with fear the distance with Athletic for the Champions League, which could be reduced to two points.
