The defeat in the first leg of the Champions League against Olympiacos (3-2) moved the pressure to Atletico Madrid for Wednesday's game with Juventus at the Vicente Calderon, a key match for Atletico against the team with the Europe better numbers this season.
The sense of transcendent encounter is unanimous in the
club, the team and the fans of Atletico, runner of the competition last season
and looking for their first points in this year's tournament, in a huge match
between two of the sets more reliable on the continent, which promise high
intensity.
Atletico are the current league champions. Now third in
the standings, with an undeniable win last Saturday against Sevilla and
uploaded in a series without losses in their last fourteen games at the Vicente
Calderon, where he has lost only one of their 30 most recent home games,
including six in the Champions League.
Pending developments Gabi Fernandez, with a nasty blow to
the ankle and whose participation in the meeting seems unlikely, though Simeone
did not rule Tuesday in a press conference, there is a doubt in the team:
Antoine Griezmann or Saul Ñíguez, the first in a 4-4-2 and 4-1-4-1 in the
second, as against Sevilla.
With these records Massimiliano Allegri's team against
Atletico Madrid, and the only downside of low veteran Andrea Pirlo, who still
has not recovered is presented; Andrea Barzagli, also injured, and the
Italo-Brazilian Romulo, is subjected to an operation Wednesday in Monaco for a
bilateral inguinal hernia.
Morata's performance has convinced both Allegri believed
you could even take the place of Llorente starts at the Vicente Calderon. This
would be one of the changes that could introduce technical about its eleventh
gala, besides Caceres if it appears that he has fully recovered.
Who does not miss is Carlos Tevez, now has four goals in
the championship game six if the Champions League has also immovable veteran
Gianluigi Buffon, who has nine games without conceding a goal between the
current and last season.
The Swiss Stephan Lichtsteiner will play on the right. On
