Diego Simeone wanted three points
Unfortunately to Atletico Madrid fans, Simeone failed to take three points from Levante’s stadium. Simeone played a very interesting match with an intense strategy. First of all, we should say that Atletico Madrid was attacking a lot and the team could score a few goals but they failed. Levante was not so good in the attacking line, therefore Levante was really good in the defense.
Simeone started the match with two central strikers. Correa and Luis Suarez were playing in the penalty area of Levante. Correa was moving a lot in the penalty area of Levante therefore creating space for playing on the wings. Atletico was attacking with this midfield – Carrasco, Vrsaljko, Lorrente and Saul. Koke was playing from deep and his main goal was creating connection between defense and midfield. There were only three central defenses of Atletico.
Only two goals in 90 minutes
