Atlético B Stumbles in Marbella: A Setback in the Promotion Battle

Atlético de Madrid B suffered a defeat (2-0) against Marbella at the Banús Football Center, in a match where the reserve team failed to show their best, especially away from home. This result complicates their ‘play-off’ aspirations, although they still remain intact.

The team led by Fernando Torres conceded an early goal, courtesy of Edwards in the 4th minute, which made the match an uphill battle. Despite their efforts, Boñar’s chance in the 24th minute was practically the only dangerous opportunity for Atlético B in the first half, with Rayane trying without much success.

Torres sought to revitalize the team at halftime, introducing Selu Diallo for Javi Serrano, but a penalty converted by Dorian extended the lead for the Andalusians, dealing a blow to Atlético B. Despite trying to react, shots from Jano and Borja did not find the net.

With this adverse result, the reserve team is in sixth position, one point behind Mérida, which marks the ‘play-off’ zone. The equality in the table is maximum, and the team must react in the next match against Fuenlabrada at the Cerro del Espino in Majadahonda, where they will seek to make amends and regain ground in the fight for promotion. Aúpa Atleti!

Atlético Dominates with Aerial Prowess

What a great victory for Atlético de Madrid! The team demonstrated their power at the Metropolitano by defeating Rayo Vallecano 3-0 in a match that left us with very good feelings. The most outstanding thing, without a doubt, was the team’s ability to score with headers, something we haven’t seen so often lately.

Two of the goals were headers, a demonstration that aerial play is back! Alexander Sorloth opened the scoring with a great header after a cross from Giuliano, and then Conor Gallagher extended the lead with another header, this time from a pass by Rodrigo de Paul.

Julián sealed the victory with a great goal in the second half. It is important to highlight that these headed goals represent a significant percentage of those scored by Atlético in this way throughout the season.

Three of the team’s five headed goals bear the signature of Alexander Sorloth, which demonstrates his value in the rival area. Let’s remember his goal against Getafe in December and the one he scored in August against Villarreal. Every time Atlético scores a header, victory is assured and the clean sheet is kept! This triumph is a boost for the team and a sign that, with grit and determination, we can achieve great things! Come on, Atleti!

With a forceful message on their social networks, the Rojiblancos club denounces the systematic harassment to which referees are subjected from the official Real Madrid channel, both before and after each match.

With this message, Atlético clearly positions itself against referee pressure, in defense of cleanliness and fairness in Spanish football.

Joan García to Atleti: Strategic Signing or Risk?

Atlético de Madrid has its sights set on Joan García, a young and promising Espanyol goalkeeper, as a possible reinforcement for the Rojiblancos’ goal.

Despite the fact that Jan Oblak, a fundamental pillar of the team, still has a valid contract, the Atleti board is considering securing the future between the posts with the signing of the 23-year-old goalkeeper.

There is even the option of leaving him on loan at Espanyol for another season, thus guaranteeing his development and adaptation to LaLiga. However, García’s possible arrival generates debate.

Miguel Ángel Moyà, former Atlético goalkeeper, has expressed his doubts about the advisability of this move if Oblak remains in the team. Moyà considers that it would be an unwise decision for both Atleti and Joan García himself, given Oblak’s status as an undisputed reference. However, the former goalkeeper sees Joan García as the ideal candidate to replace Oblak in the future: a Spanish goalkeeper, with experience in LaLiga and with characteristics that fit Simeone’s style of play. His potential is undeniable and he is expected to be seen soon in the National Team.

Atlético B Stumbles and Moves Away from the Playoff

A painful stumble distances Atlético B from the playoff dream. The team led by Fernando Torres failed to overcome Marbella, seriously compromising their promotion aspirations. A game to forget where defensive errors and lack of connection in midfield condemned the rojiblanco subsidiary.

From the start, Marbella took advantage of an error by Javi Serrano to take the lead on the scoreboard with a lob from Ryan Edwards. At the beginning of the second half, a penalty committed by Kostis widened the local advantage, further complicating the panorama for the colchoneros.

Despite the attempts of the young rojiblancos talents, the connection between Javi Serrano, Joaquín and Omar was practically nil, hindering the creation of clear goal opportunities. Only Selu and Jano managed to bring some clarity to the game, but without managing to materialize any play that worried the rival.

In a final stretch of the season where each game is crucial, Atlético B must significantly improve and minimize errors if they want to keep alive the hope of fighting for promotion. The road is arduous, but the claw and fighting spirit that characterize the club must be the guide to reverse this situation and return to the path of triumph.

Atleti B Stumbles Away From Home

Atlético de Madrid B fails to improve away from home, suffering another defeat against Marbella. Despite a good performance at home, the Rojiblancos fail to replicate their success away from Majadahonda, complicating their playoff aspirations.

Marbella came out intensely, taking advantage of a mistake in the Atleti B’s ball exit to take the lead with a great goal from outside the area. The Colchoneros’ subsidiary tried to react, but came up against a well-established and experienced local team, which knew how to stop their attacks and slow down the game.

After the break, a penalty committed by Kostis extended Marbella’s lead, who looked solid in defense and took advantage of Atlético’s mistakes. Despite some isolated attempts, Atleti B failed to find a formula to reverse the situation, showing a lack of ideas and reaction.

Rajado’s debut was one of the few notable things in a match where the team failed to feel comfortable at any time. Marbella, with an intelligent and effective approach, took a victory that allows them to breathe in their fight to avoid relegation.

Sorloth Shines: Surpasses Griezmann in the Scorers Table

Atlético de Madrid is experiencing a sweet moment with the outstanding performance of Alexander Sorloth, who has surpassed Antoine Griezmann in the scorers table. The Norwegian striker, with 17 goals, has demonstrated his worth in the rojiblanco attack, exceeding the 16 goals of the French star.

Sorloth needed just three minutes to open the scoring in the crucial match against Rayo, showcasing his aerial ability and taking advantage of a great cross from Giuliano Simeone. This goal not only boosted the team’s victory but also consolidated his position as a key piece in the attack.

Sorloth’s effectiveness is remarkable, averaging one goal every 110 minutes in his first year at the club. These numbers even surpass his previous performance, which demonstrates his rapid adaptation and ability to make a difference.

In contrast, Griezmann, despite being the club’s all-time top scorer, is going through a scoring slump, needing 210 minutes to score a goal. This situation has led Cholo to bet on Sorloth as a starter in the last few games, accompanying Julián in the attack.

Griezmann’s benching, unthinkable until recently, reflects the confidence placed in the Norwegian striker. With his goalscoring instinct and his ability to seize opportunities, Sorloth has become a constant threat to rival defenses and a great hope for the fans at the Metropolitano.
