Atletico Madrid defeated by Valencia, Lemar defeated: Lazio in the Champions League on Tuesday

While waiting to show up at the Olimpico on Tuesday evening, Atletico, who have been out of action for 19 days due to the postponement of the match against Sevilla, are doing much worse than Lazio: Simeone’s team, which was unbeaten and coming off a 7-0 defeat against Rayo Vallecano , lost 3-0 in Mestalla against a Valencia team that was in full corporate turbulence and was shaken by defeats against Osasuna and Alaves. Atletico had only conceded one goal in 3 days and conceded 3 in less than an hour. Valencia had not beaten Atletico in 17 games, since 2014. An unexpected and very harsh defeat for the Madrid team.

CHOLO’S CHOICES

—

For the last match before the Champions League, Cholo chose this eleven: Oblak in goal, a three-man defense with Savic, Witsel and Mario Hermoso, Azpilicueta and Riquelme wide, with the canterano called to replace Carrasco, who moved to Arabia, and then Marcos Llorente , Barrios and Lemar (and not Saul) in the middle, Griezmann and Morata in front. The defense failed, the attack never seemed dangerous.

IMMEDIATE BENEFIT

—

As soon as the 4th minute passed, Valencia took the lead: cross by Sergi Canos from the left, Hugo Duro sliding into the near post anticipates Witsel and beats Oblak from close range with his left foot, this is the attacker’s second goal of the season after the one in ‘Osasuna. Azpilicueta as bad as Savic and Witsel.

THE DOUBLE

—

Hugo Duro’s goals in this Liga became three in the 34th minute: Pepelu stole the ball from Valencia’s attacking midfield, served Fran Perez and these Hugo Duro, who again with a good dose of class burned Witsel, who finished for the second once in the wrong photo.

LEMAR CRACK

—

Between Valencia’s two goals, very little Atletico: just an oversized shot from Marcos Llorente. Before the break Simeone lost Lemar, who went off on a stretcher due to a problem with his right Achilles tendon which seems serious and was replaced by Javi Galan, who settled in the left lane with Riquelme centralizing.

INADVERTED SHOCK

—

However, he came off at half-time to make way for Molina, just as Savic was replaced by Angel Correa. ‘Cholo’ shook its numb tree but achieved very little: Marcos Llorente’s third conclusion and a good save by Mamardashvili on Morata, the Georgian goalkeeper to whom the Spanish attacker scored 3 goals during the international break.

third blow

—

And a moment later here was Valencia’s third goal, conceived, created, packaged and realized by Javi Guerra: the midfielder did what he wanted near the opponent’s area and then beat Oblak with a great shot from the edge of the box. This time Mario Hermoso was very bad. The ‘Cholo’ brought in Gimenez, who has been out of action for some time, and there is a good chance that the ‘charrua’ will play against Lazio. The Madrid team’s away match began in the worst possible way.
