Atlético Sealed Pezzolano's Fate in Zorrilla

2025-04-13 Diario As

Atlético de Madrid left its mark in Zorrilla in a first-round match that had direct consequences on Real Valladolid’s bench. The resounding victory not only added three important points for the team, but also precipitated the departure of Paulo Pezzolano as coach of the blanquivioleta team.

The match, corresponding to matchday 15 of La Liga, highlighted the shortcomings of a Real Valladolid that was already going through a delicate situation. The defeat at home acted as the straw that broke the camel’s back for a board that saw the team sink in the standings.

Before the match, Valladolid had accumulated only nine points in 15 matchdays, placing them as the bottom team and with permanence increasingly distant. The situation of Real Valladolid did not improve after Pezzolano’s dismissal.

The passage of Álvaro Rubio as interim, followed by the brief stage of Diego Cocca, failed to straighten the course of the team. Finally, Rubio returned to the bench in an attempt to close the season in the most dignified way possible, although without success. This episode underscores Atlético’s ability to influence the fate of other teams’ season, demonstrating their strength and ambition in the league competition. A victory that, beyond the points, left an indelible mark on the destiny of a direct rival.

LaLiga Schedules: A Disadvantage for Atleti in Europe?

2025-04-13 Diario As

LaLiga schedules have generated controversy, especially for teams competing in Europe. A worrying trend has emerged: Spanish teams, including Atleti, often have to face LaLiga matches on Sunday before important Champions League commitments on Wednesday.

This contrasts with other major European leagues, such as the French or German, which tend to protect their teams more, bringing matches forward to Friday or even postponing them altogether.

This season, a high percentage of teams that played in the Champions League on Wednesday had played their LaLiga match on Sunday, with Spanish clubs being the most affected. This situation creates a considerable physical and strategic disadvantage for Atleti and other Spanish teams in European competitions.

Despite the RFEF regulations contemplating the possibility of bringing matches forward to Saturday when there are European commitments the following week, this option is not always applied equitably.

Specific cases show an inconsistency in the application of this regulation, generating unease and questioning the scheduling planning. The recent controversy with the Copa del Rey final schedule is a clear example of the need for greater attention to this issue, seeking a balance that benefits all teams and ensures the best possible representation of LaLiga in international competitions. Forza Atleti!
