VILA-REAL. Just two days after the dismissal of batchVillarreal visits this Sunday (9:00 p.m.) a very complicated square such as the Cívitas Metropolitano. Miguel Angel Tenafootball director of the Submarino, will be the one who sits on the bench against Atlético de Madrid waiting for, predictably, Marcelino García Toral be announced as a new coach groggy on Monday. The delicate situation of the team on a mental and qualifying level, together with the fact that Atlético de Madrid has won all its games this season at home, make the match a challenge for the yellows. Morata y Griezmannhot since the season began, threaten the weak defense of those from La Plana.
Focused on the game
Everyone in Vila-real is counting the hours until the club announces Marcelino’s return. An open secret that excites a large part of the fans but that should not distract the squad ahead of the clash against Atlético. Miguel Ángel Tena, who knows footballers well, will make sure it doesn’t happen. The injured Juan Foyth, Alfonso Pedraza, Coquelin y Denis Suárez They remain in the dry dock. Instead, he returns to the call a Gerard Moreno who did not travel to Cyprus on Thursday as a precaution. All in all, Tena will have to put together the best eleven possible to score in the capital and leave a good taste in the mouth just before the international break. The Almazora coach is not expected to make too many changes to the lineup, which could be very similar to the one he played against Athletic Club. The biggest doubts are on the sides, where they could be Kiko
female o Adrian Altimira on the right and Alberto Moreno o Carlos Romero on the left. It is also unknown who will be the third forward along with Gerard Moreno and Sørlothor if even Tena chooses to reinforce the midfield with a fourth man to accompany Equal, Capua y Brothers. Simeone renewed; Morata and Griezmann, plugged in. For their part, Atlético de Madrid arrives at the duel in great shape and with a Cholo Simeone recently renewed until 2027. Tuesday’s 6-0 win over Glasgow Celtic served to clean up the team’s image after the defeat in Gran Canaria and to confirm that Morata y Griezmannwith doublets to the Scots, They continue on a stellar plan. And the red and white striker pair, who have already scored 23 goals in all competitions, are the team’s main stronghold this season. On the other hand, the attacking men who will not be available will be the injured ones. Memphis y Lemarwhile the Mozambican defender Reinildo It will be a doubt until the last moment. However, the biggest difficulty for Villarreal will be trying to conquer a stadium where no one has managed to score points this season. Atlético has won in the five league duels (against Granada, Real Madrid, Cádiz, Real Sociedad and Deportivo Alavés) and in the two Champions League games (against Feyenoord and Celtic) that it has played in front of its fans. In fact, taking into account the games in the final stretch of last year, the colchoneros have accumulated 16 consecutive victories at home.
Three visits to the Metropolitano without losing
Last season, the duel at the Metropolitano ended with a favorable result for the grogs: 0-2 with goals from Jeremy Pino and Gerard Moreno. In fact, Villarreal has not lost in its last three visits to the rojiblancos, since the previous two ended in a draw. In total, Atlético de Madrid has hosted the Submarino in 21 league games, with a balance of 10 local wins, six draws and five yellow wins.
