Atlético de Madrid leaves the three points in Germany. In a game where he had life until the 85th minute, he rowed to not get a good final result. An intractable Firmpong broke up the game in the final moments. These are the successes and errors of Simeone’s team:
Joao Felix Factor
He is a special player. By far he is the player with the highest quality in the entire squad. He makes the team play, he gives him the ball and the game begins to take on color. The danger is always in his boots. With the entry of Antoine he improved much more, he understands himself wonderfully with the French. Gamers always understand each other.
Griezmann’s entrance
Like every game, he entered in the 60th minute, and like every game, the level of the team rose. Griezmann is knowing how to occupy his role as a refreshment player very well. The offensive combinations of Simeone’s team began to arrive with danger when “El Greco” began to come into contact with the ball.
defensive fragility
If something characterizes Simeone’s teams, it is being very tough defensively, and this team was not. He conceded a lot and very dangerous. At the start of the second half they conceded a double chance as the ball hit the crossbar and then hit the post.
Not having a clear control of the party
On many occasions, Atlético feels comfortable defending, but in this game it was not like that. Leverkusen, when they had to decide the game after the break, was the team that took the lead. Enclosing Atlético in their field and leaving them without opportunities to go on the counterattack.
Not knowing how to take the last minutes
Swim to drown on the shore. That was Atlético. He lasted 85 minutes with the score 0-0, and could have made the difference, but they couldn’t hold off Firmpong. The Dutchman entered to play the last 20 minutes and broke the game.
