The elimination in King's Cup could fill of muscle to Simeone

The Athletic of Madrid, champion of winter of LaLiga Santander, could increase his muscular mass in the break that unfortunately has won after his course of the Glass of the King hardly in the second round. However, the bitter exit has another flavour with nine days of rest in a capital struck by the estragos of Filomena. And more, when they have freed by a while of the heavy task to fulfil commitments each three, four or five days between all the competitions, without explaining the Champions League that returns in February.

After the important triumph in front of the Seville of Julen Lopetegui, the next aim for the directed by the Cholo moves until the Thursday 21 January, when the colchoneros measure in front of the Eibar, in the Municipal Stadium of Ipurúa. Three days later, the guideline goes back to tighten , and will follow suit against the Valency in the capital.

The rojiblancos are conscious that the pause will be important to assume the congestion that comes . Voucher remember, that still by LaLiga are in debt with two parties; those postponed in front of the Athletic and Raise, that to win them, would mean a carrerón to the title. These two victories would move them away even more of the Real Madrid and of the FC Barcelona, to the first at present takes him out five points and to the Catalans seven.

The recess also would allow to the Atleti recover players lesionados like Héctor Herrera and the integration to the group of Moussa Dembélé, a forward from the Olympique Lyon, the one who sure will have a species of 'minipretemporada' in Wanda. To this last, needs it Simeone for suplir the gone of Diego Coast and to have greater margin of manoeuvre with Luis Suárez, the maximum artilleryman of the team with nine goals, and to the one who needs dosificar the most possible.

Another point for, that will look for Simeone in the stop of nine days, is to prepare better the party in front of the Eibar without Koke, the one who will not be of the game by accumulation of cards. The technician will have to achieve a solution to the 5-3-2, by which bets mainly playing with an only mediocentro: precisely the captain.

Without doubts, the Athletic will have rest regarding parties, but no of work out of the fields, although this would not have to be a problem for Simeone, the one who recently was chosen like the best trainer of the decade, according to the International Federation of History and Statistical of Football, body that situated it above Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp.

The defence, always...

That it do not remain doubts, that the 'Cholo' will look for in nine days strengthen his system of defensive game. It is what more elogia in his victories and also what more works, in spite of being cataloged of selfish in his proposal of offensive game, although they go winning gunpowder. After the duel with the Seville, the sacrifice and the harp to isolate to Jan Oblak was what more stood out.

"We played against a very good rival, with a staff with a lot of spares, have a very good football, attain to carry the game to where they can have numerical superiority and generate centres from the bands with Navas and Coins, but today -absolutely- was a big defensive work like team", emphasized.
