Atlético vs. Real Mandril: el Derbi Returns
By: Al |
2 Comments
I know that it has been about 10 years since Atletico win against Real Madrid, but who cares. It’s the damn Derbi Madrileño. Be excited.
It’s one of those bottom vs. top fixtures (we’re in 17th, they’re in 2nd) but we’re still expecting the upset, despite a ten year hex in the way. Derbies are always special and when you play matches like these, you forget about everything else, such as table position and the fact that you’re eliminated from the Champions League (grrr). Just sit back, grab a cold one, and enjoy. And yell loudly at the television set. Read the rest of this entry »

Diego Forlán Interview

I’m not a big fan of reprinting news, but this interview was one that I had to share with everyone. It was done with Marca, just in time for the derby clash on Saturday. El Cacha talks about everything from Champions League elimination, Real Madrid, Quique Flores’ methods, World Cup qualification, and more.
Don’t F around with that babelfish translation shit, I translated it just for you. Warning: it’s quite long. Read the rest of this entry »
Atlético 2 – Chelsea 2: Aguero Is Baaack!

…and who the hell knew that he could score free kicks?
We’re dumped out of the Champions League, but at the same time, have plenty to look forward to, and a performance to applaud. The team that played today was one that was absent all season and played with all their might. Chelsea was Chelsea, and Drogba was a beast as usual, but our response to them was Kun Aguero, who had one of his best matches in a long time. He only even played for 35 minutes!
It was a draw, but it was still good. Read the rest of this entry »

We aint afraid man, I swear.
The mighty Chelsea is in town and despite the 4-0 thrashing that they gave us two weeks ago, our confidence is through the roof, according to Quique. What is there to be afraid of, to be honest? The fact is, they are group leaders and 2nd in the Premier League and we’re relegation fodder in La Liga and at the bottom of our group.
So I’ll be honest, man. There’s plenty to be scared of.

It hurts.
Once again, there is no purpose in a review. Pretty much, it was an unfortunate first result for Quique Sanchez and the team suffered once again from bad set piece defense, despite playing a good second half and hitting the crossbar on three separate occasions. It’s such a letdown considering that we’re hosting Chelsea in the midweek, then Real Madrid the following weekend. Quique may be thinking about what he got himself into, but the team will eventually get up and running and this is a bad string of fixtures to help that spark ignite. Most of you are familiar with how Atleti has been doing so far into the season, and this match is no different, so here’s the video and I’ll leave it at that. Better posts are definitely on their way.
The idiot commentator is the highlight of the video.

This stage of the Copa del Rey is usually boring and the favorable result is usually given to the Primera Division clubs that aren’t Real Madrid. However, this was Quique Flores’ debut match and another shot at an easy victory for a team that struggles to maintain leads against 9-men squads. To be fair to Marbella, they still played a good game and had some chances on their own (one of their players had a nice volley after a corner kick) but as you could see with Kun Aguero’s final play of the match, there was quite the difference in talent. They even play in the same division as our youth team! Oh well, the Marbella fans will enjoy a trip to the Vicente Calderon next time and we’ll just look forward to progressing into the next round of our most realistic trophy this season.

Adios Abel Resino, hello Quique Sanchez Flores.
Quique Sanchez Flores, best known for his stint at Valencia a few years ago, will be presented today as the new Atletico Madrid manager. The fact that he is Madridista is something that the director’s board didn’t originally like, but his desperation for work enthusiasm impressed the club and now he will take over.

It was expected, but it still hurt. This was the absolute best example of why we don’t have the squad to compete with the best. Not only did they win, but they embarrassed us hardcore. Even if they had won 1-0 and still had played the way that they did, the loss would have been just as bad.
Let me tell you, I have seen us get outplayed before, but never this badly. Chelsea marked the shit out of each and every one of our players, and some of their flashy football was stuff that we see from the likes of Barca. Chelsea didn’t play “boring” as they are usually accused of doing; in comparison to us, they played football from another world while we were playing with a team from earth.
