The Athletic of Madrid, empatado with the FC Barcelona at the head of the leadership of the League BBVA and in semifinals of UEFA Champions League, finds at present in a privileged situation to win some title this season, and denies of all the possible ways -legal or no- to remain without options of success. Such is the obsession of the ones of the "Cholo" Simeone for winning some trophy this campaign that, for this, are had even to do use of the estratagemas dirtier of the world of the football.
This past Saturday, could see how somebody threw from the bench of the Athletic of Madrid an extra balloon to the terrain of game to cut, of root, a very dangerous counterattack of the Málaga. The Athletic dominated in these moments the marker by 1-0 in Vicente Calderón, and a tie could have left practically without options to the ones of Simeone to struggle by the title of League.
Mateu Lahoz Saw it, expelled to Simeone and now the Argentinian technician could lose what subtracts of season by sanction, although the Athletic of Madrid seems that it will blame to one of the recogepelotas to "save" the absence of the Argentinian trainer in the bench rojiblanco. In any case, the true is that in the turn of quarter-finals of UEFA Champions League, against the FC Barcelona, the Athletic already used the same tactics to lose time.
In the minute 26 of party, and with 1-0 in the marker in favour of the colchoneros, somebody went back to throw a balloon to the field after a kickoff of band of Filipe Luis, with the only aim to lose time. The program "Hat-Trick Barça", of TV3, attracted the images, whereas in another moment of the party Sergio Busquets had to give back a spherical to a recogepelotas because it was lacking of pressure.
Arrived to this point, seems clear that the Athletic of Madrid knows them to him all to lose time, desconcentrar to the rivals and do gala of the "another football", the one who plays more with picardía and fault of honesty that with balloon. For the moment, however, it seems that the results are being good for the rojiblancos... Until it fall them some sanction.
