Atlético de Madrid undoubtedly lost more than a semi-final in the Copa del Rey yesterday. Already beaten at home in the first leg on February 7 (0-1), the Madrilenians this time took a big slap in the Basque Country. Blame it on the Williams brothers, Inaki and Nico, then Guruzeta, all scorers. Victorious 3-0, the Leones join Mallorca in a final where they will be favorites. “We started with three occasions where we should have done betternuance Diego Simeone at a press conference. They, at the first, they score”regrets the Argentinian coach, orphaned by Griezmann yesterday.
“We have to be stronger, we have the qualities to do it. Four weeks ago you said Morata was in the best year of his career and now that’s not the case. The goal will come, we trust in our offensive and defensive qualities. Let’s congratulate the rival, let’s rest and think about Betis (next La Liga matchday), that’s what matters for the club., evacuates the colchonero coach. Except that this real humiliation is of course the focus of the Spanish press.
Diego Simeone highly criticized
The latter is not kind at all to Atlético. It targets in particular the players who have failed in recent weeks, notably Jan Oblak, Mario Hermoso and Memphis Depay but above all the coach himself, considered to be the main responsible. “Atlético continues to pay for its defensive systems. Many players don’t understand his message. If the Argentine declared in Almería that the problem was that he had not won the duels, something similar happened in Bilbao. Without aggressiveness, the intensity of the fight, the coach can do nothing.writing Marca.
Far away in La Liga, 4th, 13 points behind leader Real Madrid, beaten in the Spanish Super Cup, the Colchoneros only have the Champions League to save their season. We will have to make up for this late goal against Inter during a round of 16 second leg in which they are increasingly considered outsiders. “There are a lot of games left in the league. We must do things right and achieve the goalassures Marcos Llorente. We have a very important Champions League match. First, there is Betis and then we will prepare for this one, which is another final. So far, it hasn’t really been successful.
