Forgotten security on set pieces?
If Atlético are probably the most effective team of the decade to protect their goal, it is not only due to the harshness of their defensive animation. Diego Simeone also has a habit of guarding against blocks when his players get offensive set pieces. These can regularly turn into a goal opportunity for the opponent, if the ball is returned. Atlético does not compromise with this and therefore places a line of protection at the height of 25-30 meters, quick to recover the second balls or stop the block.
