Liverpool, Real Sociedad and Levante. The rojiblancos had three games without knowing the victory and received the Betis, one of the most fit teams Europe. The defeats of the Verdiblancos in 2021 could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Therefore, it was not the best rival to get rid of all the doubts of these matches with a stroke of the pen. Despite this, the Athletic he found himself under the deluge and was able to close a busy week with a very solid win.
Liverpool, Real Sociedad and Levante. We insist on listing the last three games of the rojiblancos after the national team break. In all of them, those of Simeone they received at least two goals against. Three in front of Liverpool. In download of the Simeone, three of those goals came from the penalty spot. This Sunday, they finally got a clean sheet again. Something they did not do since the triumph against him Barcelona, precisely the last quiet meeting of the rojiblancos. Close like this the Athletic the All Saints Bridge and it seems that it begins to resemble the team at the beginning of the season.
With the casualties of Lemar, Llorente and Kondogbia, the Athletic he again bet on three offensive players. This time, strap took the place of Joao Felix. The Portuguese appeared in the second act to break his streak without scoring. Which in I raised was a defect, only two midfielders, against the Betis it was virtue. Koke, and above all From Paul, they became luxury pitchers of the three who played in front of them. On the sides, Carrasco and Trippier they were a threat to the Betis side.
Savic, a guarantee
The return of Savic, he had not played since the clash against him Barcelona, It was a point of tranquility for a defense that needed a game without fitting in like eating. The Montenegrin resembled the center-back from last year, surely he will throw his team back in Anfield. The one who will not lose the duel will be a Gimenez which once again demonstrated its importance in defense. The rojiblancos are coming to a new ordain week ahead and it does it just at the moment in which they returned to teach things about the champion.
The first stop of the week will be Anfield, but before a new national team break, you will have to visit Mestalla to end this marathon of encounters. Two key exits that can mark the future of the team both in Champions like in League. There was no better way to get to both games than by recovering the best version of the team. To think about the casualties of Savic and Griezmann There will be time.
