Today is D-Day. Match, opponent. The duel marked in red in that league of 14 that Atletico has been playing for two weeks. Since he started, however, he has only added victories (Osasuna, Celta), leaving behind Oblak's bloodbath (34 goals already conceded, more than ever), a nod to blunders. League of 14 with the same objective: to get into the top four, the places that allow us to play the next Champions League. Of course, Betis is looking for the same thing (watch the match live on As.com).
With 46 points and third, Pellegrini's men face him. With 45 and 5, Cholo K. And embracing the result of the first round in the ring like Gollum: "My Tesouro". Rosiblancos won 3–0. And in a league of 14 with so many rivals for the same thing, the goal average is like a win. Two champion positions (Madrid and Seville are already in first and second place with solvency and difference).
Betis comes with several casualties but the excitement builds up after reaching the final of the Cup three days earlier. Great creative leader Canales is out due to suspension. Pellegrini also has problems on the wings with injuries to Bellerin, Moreno and Miranda. Rubel could cover the right side and Sabali on the left, despite the profile of his right hand. There is manifold belief in Pellegrini and his search for a solution. Fakir will play. Borja Iglesias aims to become '9'.
lease and change
Cholo also believes in its new Atletie, where the deserving have conquered the names. Herrera, Lodi, Vrsaljko, according to tests, remain, wings fly, creates midfield, holds. But of his eleven types, which Cholo found in Pamplona, there were two forcible casualties: condogabia, churning, and savik, hut, sanction. The coke has not been recovered yet. The spotlight on de Paul, residual from the moment he was called upon to sign a cholo of the 21st century, and Felipe, proving the day they deserved it. With 17 on the list, Simeone could add Marco Moreno, B's middle today, if Jimenez, the lame, doesn't. His transformations, the resources on his bench, are terrifying: Griezmann, Lemar, Carrasco, Suarez...
Above all, with Joo, who had left Villamarine in tears nearly a year earlier, after two obvious lapses, the leader's mattress was getting bloated day by day, consoling with Cholo's embrace. It was a lease. And that image rested. It emerged as the Phoenix Bird after Vilmarine and has been flying and flying ever since. His merits have earned him a name. He's the man: the key to the league title (his goal in Valladolid), the top scorer is 21-22 (12). And this game, tonight, at this stage, a pending account. And also marked in red.
