They say that you learn from your mistakes, a statement that does not apply to Mallorcan footballers. It’s not that these mistakes cost a lot of points, no. Only three spread over as many matches, but if there haven’t been more it’s because those of Arrasate put aside the educational bookThey already thought they knew everything and they haven’t played anything in a month.
Neither does Atlético, who are more used to this. Simeone’s resignation, something other than the result, is part of his essencethe personality of his team and his way of approaching football. His opponent, instead of countering the avarice of this philosophy, fed it with vulgar, parsimonious, horizontal game, with a useless and tedious touch to advance a meter or surprise an opponent who, after losing the ball, defends with five or even six defenders before a finisher enters the area.
Yes, a real aspiration to follow in the footsteps of Barça or Madrid, even if it is far away and present in Europe, has left the ball in the power of those who fight, let’s not be mistaken, with the sole objective of staying away from relegation and they use it to pass it from one to the other, from one side to the other and doing nothing but, being bored with themselves, hit a ball so Muriqi or Larin can comb it to no man’s landwithout any teammates to support the action, arrive from the second line or face one-on-one on the wing.
A simple reading will say that the scoring chances, only two in each context, were distributed equally. The difference, not insignificant, is that the winner benefited, Greif avoided what would have already doomed the result to the monumental anger of Cholo against his auctioneer, and no one vanquished, not even that of the idolized Abdon.
The flag that closes the first third of the league marks what it should mean a touch of attention for this Majorca from Arrasate that since its promising start in the championship, the league has gone from plus to minus. An alert which must be launched in the locker room which smells of discrimination in the effort, the disconnection with the technical staff, we should ask Arrasate which match he was considering when he predicted the goals the day before, and a lack of concern in absentee offices. reality.
