If it had been up to the coaches and players, this championship day would not have happened. The cataclysm that DANA left – it exceeds 210 dead – in the affected areas was unanimous among the main players in the championship. The League defends the continuity of the national tournament.
“The best message is to be on the front line in our work like all workers in the rest of the sectors, giving visibility, generating resources and explaining to the world that we must be all hands on deck to move forward,” announced Tebas. , which uses football for what it is, a massive activity that generates emotions and celebrations.
Even if doubt, at least, is generated. Is there something to celebrate? Is it indecent to celebrate a triumph while tragedy is still unfolding? The League believes yes, that everyone should compete except “in the affected areas”. This is why he did not give the order to lower the flag and eight of the ten clashes will take place as normally as possible.
Atlético reunites
If we had to play, it had to be with the greatest possible dedication. Atlético, which was in search of its identity and had been shaken by consecutive defeats against Lille and Betis and the late victory against Vic – a Sixth Division team – in the Cup, approved the revalidation against Las Palmas.
Not because of the victory, but because they dominated the opponent throughout the match. It is true that they are not a rival in their League, but neither are Leganés and at that time the rojiblancos sweated to make them abandon. Against Las Palmas, they imposed their plan and their idea of play from the start. They did not concede any chances in defense and created an attack. Very active on the sides with Giuliano and Galán and compact without the ball.
Giuliano breaks down the door
Electric and decisive. Giuliano lit up in Atlético’s dark week. Against Leganés he knocked on the door with his participation in the goal that sparked the comeback and the assist to the one that sealed it. Against Vic he honored the King’s Cup, being one of the most active.
And against UD Las Palmas, he broke down the door. His tireless fight is typical of a young player who loves his club. It was dedication and hard work. Above and below. He spared no effort defensively and dressed as a striker, his first in an Atlético jersey, to guide his team and ward off the anxiety of the last few matches. He celebrated furiously, like a young player.
