Only happy faces are seen on the placid Sunday night that hosts the game at the Metropolitano. The staff joyfully fills the seats, sings the centenary anthem and waits without too much tension for a victory against little Cádiz. Such a feeling is normal: Atlético de Madrid is experiencing full days since the recent banquet in the derby in this same setting and the effective Navarrese agony last Thursday. The meeting begins and the relaxed murmur quickly turns into attentive noise. In fact, Atleti took little time to confirm the suspicions of their fans and only the post prevented the 1-0 of Griezmann after a beautiful backheel from Correa. A blink later, the Frenchman feints Meré and fails a one-on-one due to the good work of Ledesma. He forgives the red-and-white differential man; shouts the Metropolitan before the gale that shakes those of the oldest city in the West. However, true to the athletic legend, who does not cease his efforts to challenge the ordinary, bitterness floods those who were smiling seconds ago.
The scoreboard shows a number twelve when Chris Ramosthat striker who is much more than a finisher, grabs the ball in the left corner of the rival area, faces Riquelme and crosses low and precise towards Pires, a boy who had only added 30 minutes in First Division. The young Brazilian successfully beats an erratic – and repeat offender – Nahuel Molina and he only has to caress the ball inside to accompany it to the net and sign the unexpected 0-1. Meanwhile, Atlético calls for an obvious foul on Riquelme at the beginning of the play; but the referee pays little attention to the shouts and the arms to the area.
The goal shakes the red and white spirit; Simeone’s people are beginning to realize that what was initially a nice night walk now resembles a first-class port. He tries to recover the vital signs of the local team and finds a way of hope with the offers in the midfielder of Riquelme -which returns again and again to its nature despite starting from the left lane-.
Meanwhile, Cádiz continues to threaten from its mountain. She is comfortable on the wall that surrounds the Ledesma area and is shameless on the counterattack. What’s more, to the timid red-and-white reaction – and after wreaking chaos with a shot from before midfield Wave which is close to being the goal of the year – responds with the second stab. Goal in the most traditional style of the oldest English football: shot by the goalkeeper, rebound and a rogue striker –Roger-, of Vaseline, surpasses Oblak when he meets him alone. He ‘Brexit football’as it is jokingly called in the Islands, shines in the Metropolitan.
The 0-2 was a deep wound. cloud He had twice picked up the ball from the depths of his lair on the day he added 400 red-and-white games; Silence reigns in the always noisy Atlético stadium. It is, however, time for the front door or the infirmary. And, in fact, the path to the comeback begins early – in the 30th – with a good header from Correa who it is inexplicable that he does not play more.
Atleti jumps out of control into the second half and, on the first ball in play, MolinaAfter another beautiful backheel by Correa and a mistake by Llorente, he was the smartest in the hubbub of the Cádiz area and tied the game. The Metropolitan explodes with joy; Now, when the spirit touches the moon, victory is sensed just around the corner. The last shot is missing, the most complicated, and it belongs to the man of the night: Angel Correa (66). The Argentine finishes a great relationship of passes; Atlético sighs in the face of what could have been a nightmare.
