Atleti on Trial: A Historic Opportunity for Getafe?

2025-03-09 Diario As

This Sunday, Getafe faces Atlético de Madrid with the palpable feeling that, if they don’t achieve victory now, they may never do so. Los Rojiblancos, immersed in a demanding schedule with crucial duels in the Champions League and La Liga, visit the Coliseum at a key moment of the season.

Since that fateful November 6, 2011, when Getafe defeated Atlético, the blue team has failed to repeat the feat. The arrival of Diego Pablo Simeone marked a turning point in the Colchoneros, catapulting them to the elite of football.

Despite the improvement shown by Getafe in recent times, the shadow of Atlético de Madrid remains long. José Bordalás trusts his players and hopes for a perfect match, taking advantage of Atleti’s possible fear of missing out on important upcoming commitments.

A Getafe strong in duels, winning in divided balls, could tip the balance in their favor. The message is clear: this is the moment. The opportunity is unbeatable to break the negative streak against an Atlético that, although always competitive, may be thinking about other fronts. Will this be the day Getafe smiles again against Atleti?

Red and White Yellow Alert Before the Clash with Barça

2025-03-06 Diario As

Atlético de Madrid faces Getafe with the pressure of yellow cards. Key players such as Julián Alvarez, Giménez, and Pablo Barrios are on the verge of suspension, adding a risk factor to the match. A card for any of them would mean missing the crucial match against Barcelona at the Metropolitano.

The situation of Julián Alvarez is particularly delicate. The player has been a fundamental pillar in Simeone’s scheme, playing the vast majority of minutes this season, second only to Griezmann. His availability is vital for the team, and losing him against Barça would be a tough blow.

Julián’s last caution was six games ago, demonstrating that he has been able to play with caution. Giménez and Barrios are also in a similar situation, being essential pieces in defense and midfield respectively.

Their possible absence would further complicate Cholo Simeone’s tactical approach for the clash against Barcelona. The coaching staff and players are aware of the importance of maintaining discipline on the field to avoid sanctions that may affect the team in upcoming commitments. The Red and White fans hope that the players can handle the pressure and secure victory against Getafe without compromising their participation in the next home game.

Azpilicueta Reinforces Rojiblanca Defense

2025-03-06 Diario As

Good news from Majadahonda, colchoneros! Simeone recovers César Azpilicueta for the vital match against Getafe. The experienced Navarro defender trained with the rest of the team and, barring setbacks, will be available to shore up the rojiblanca defense.

His presence seems fundamental, especially given the difficulties the team is encountering on the left flank, where the options are not entirely convincing the Cholo. Azpilicueta’s experience and know-how are a safe bet for high-demand matches.

On the other hand, Koke continues to work hard on his recovery, training with one of the club’s recovery staff. Although his participation in the small derby seems complicated, it is expected that he will be able to rejoin the group in the next matches.

During the session, Simeone chose to divide the team into groups, with no clues as to the starting eleven that will take to the Coliseum pitch. We will have to wait for tomorrow’s training session to see if the Argentine coach offers any clues about his plans. What is clear is that Atlético needs to add three to continue climbing positions. Aúpa Atleti!

Atlético: Freshness and Strategy against Getafe

2025-03-06 Diario As

Atlético de Madrid, with their sights set on Getafe, prioritizes the physical freshness of their players in a demanding schedule. After a series of high-intensity matches against rivals such as Real Madrid, Athletic, and Barcelona, the coaching staff, led by Simeone, is aware of the importance of rest and recovery.

El Cholo has insisted that the most important match is the one at the Coliseum, without neglecting the accumulated fatigue. Luis Piñedo plays a crucial role, individually analyzing the physical load of each player to optimize performance.

Strategic rotations are expected for the match against Getafe, with key players such as De Paul, Giuliano, and Griezmann possibly resting, as Julián and Llorente did in the last match.

This opens the door to opportunities for players with fewer minutes, such as Correa, who seeks to establish himself in the starting eleven, as well as Le Normand, Nahuel, Sorloth, and even Riquelme, who could have minutes at the Metropolitano. The goal is clear: maintain the intensity and competitive level of the team, ensuring that they arrive in optimal condition for the upcoming challenges.

Mbappé: From Oasis to Desert, But 'Colchoneros' Confidence Remains

2025-03-06 Diario As

Our Mbappé, the one who brought excitement after the click in San Mamés, has gone through a bit of a slump in the recent matches against Betis and our Atleti. After an impressive display of 18 goals and 3 assists in 19 games, the last two appointments have not been so fruitful, with only a timid shot on goal.

But calm down, ‘rojiblancos’! We know this is no cause for alarm. The match against Atleti showed a lack of shine, with a solitary attempt from outside the area that went straight into Oblak’s hands.

However, our Cholo Simeone was able to see a light at the end of the tunnel: that failure in the pass to Vinicius at the end of the match, with the score 2-1, which gave us hope and an open door.

From the coaching staff they transmit calm, understanding that it is simply a lack of running, a couple of accidents without further transcendence. They trust that we will soon see the best version of Mbappé again. Because we know he has the ability to resurface, as he has shown before. The ‘colchoneros’ fans trust in his talent and hope to see him shine again! The key is patience and a clean slate mentality. Aúpa Atleti!

Left Back: A Headache for Simeone

2025-03-06 Diario As

Atlético de Madrid faces a challenge at the left-back position, where Javi Galán, despite his dedication and versatility, shows weaknesses in high-stakes matches. Simeone doesn’t seem to find a clear substitute, raising concerns about the team’s scheme.

Although Azpilicueta is an option, his starts are sporadic, as seen in Mestalla. Riquelme has accumulated few minutes, and Reinildo, after his injury, hasn’t regained his best level, showing a lack of speed and costly errors.

However, in the Champions League, his entry revitalized the match against Leverkusen, neutralizing Frimpong. Lino, who previously played in that position, has lost prominence and his impact on the game has diminished.

The lack of consistent solutions at left-back has been evident in key moments, such as in the match against Real Madrid, where the left flank suffered against rival attacks.

Despite Galán assisting Julián Álvarez for the equalizing goal, the difficulties persist, forcing other players like Lenglet, Lino, and Griezmann to cover defensive deficiencies.

The position requires urgent reinforcements, but they won’t arrive until the summer, while Atleti fights to compete in the Copa, League, and Champions League. The Rojiblancos fans hope that Simeone finds a tactical solution or trusts other options to strengthen the team in this key position.

Madrid Derby: A Bittersweet Triumph with Eyes on the Metropolitano

2025-03-06 Diario As

The first Madrid derby of the season ended with a victory for Real Madrid, in a match with flashes of quality but far from the generated expectations. An early goal by Rodrygo did not unleash the expected offensive storm, but rather a phase of caution on both sides.

Atlético, after Brahim’s goal, seemed to prioritize managing the disadvantage, calculating their options in the return match at our Metropolitano. Madrid, with an intermittent game, showed symptoms of fatigue and lack of aggression, allowing Atlético to grow in the match.

After Julián Alvarez’s great goal, Madrid was in shock for several minutes, a moment that Atlético did not fully take advantage of, sinning from prudence and failing to materialize their superiority on the scoreboard.

Courtois, with a spectacular save, and Valverde, with two providential interventions, prevented Atlético from taking the lead. A goal full of determination from Brahim changed the course of the game. Simeone, with his mind on the Metropolitano, seemed content with the result.

Ancelotti, with a one-goal advantage, was also satisfied. The tie remains open and the Rojiblanca fans are confident of a comeback at our stadium, where the team will seek to deploy their best game and reach the next round. The return at the Metropolitano is presented as a crucial battle where the passion and drive of our fans will be fundamental.
