Atletico will advance to the derby against Real Madrid on matchday 8 with 48 hours less rest than its eternal rivalwho will play their previous match against Alavés on Tuesday, while Simeone’s men will do so on Thursday at 9pm, as well as in Vigo.. A new abuse of Thebes and the LeagueIt is incomprehensible that Atletico and Real do not play their midweek matches on Wednesday to avoid such a relative insult.
Inside Metropolitan The schedules were received with absolute indignation because they understand that Thebes forces the team to make unnecessary physical efforts not knowing how to balance the calendar with a minimum of coherenceReal Madrid will have a clear advantage in the derby, not only because they will be able to count on 48 hours of additional recovery, which is already a lot, but also because they will play on Tuesday against Alavés at the Bernabéu, so they will be able to prepare for the match against the eternal rival for four days exclusively.
Atlético, on the other hand, will finish its match against Celta on Thursday at 11pm, more than two days apart. It will arrive in Madrid mid-morning and Simeone will only have Friday and Saturday afternoons, because obviously the players will need to sleep. This, of course, is without mentioning the possibility that the footballers will receive blows or have physical problems. Bélébecause in this case its recovery capacity will be minimal.
Atletico start against Valencia next Sunday 15th a hellish calendar This would require him to challenge nothing less than five games in 14 days, since in addition to the four in the League, they will have to face their Champions League debut against Leipzig at the Metropolitano. It will be necessary to oust the squad and make rotations, because there is no other choice due to the obvious incompetence of Javier Tebas’ League.
