The Metropolitano, Atleti's Refuge
Atlético de Madrid shows its best version at the Metropolitano, where the fans drive the team with rhythm and intensity. However, away from home, the Rojiblancos suffer, showing difficulties in imposing their game.
In their last match, a set-piece made the difference in a game that seemed even. In the second half, the lack of ideas and the defensive solidity of Osasuna further complicated things for Los Colchoneros.
The changes made by Simeone did not achieve the desired effect, subtracting more than adding to the team’s performance. The lack of depth on the wings and the substitution of Sorloth, a benchmark in finishing crosses, affected Atlético’s offensive capacity.
The team is finding it difficult to maintain the level in this final stage of the league season. Coach Vicente Moreno planned a match to not suffer too much from Atlético’s attacks and after the management of the changes of his counterpart on the opposite bench.
Despite the challenges away from home, the team’s strength at the Metropolitano remains a reason for optimism for the fans. The energy and unconditional support of the fans are essential to push Atlético towards victory in every match.
