Marca: Simeone demonstrates superb tactical skills, proving that Atletico Madrid is still a championship team

Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid 5-2 in La Liga last night, and Marca also posted a commentary post after the game. The article says that Atletico Madrid has not scored five goals in the domestic league for 75 years since 1950. This feat has never been seen by generations, and yesterday, nearly 70,000 fans witnessed this historical moment at Atletico Madrid's home court. It will be an afternoon to remember forever, at least for Atletico Madrid. The score of

5-2 has become a legend of Atletico Madrid. More importantly, this game shows that Atletico Madrid is still competitive in La Liga this season. Despite poor performance at the beginning of the season (only scored 6 points in the first 5 rounds, although the game process was better than the final result), the team did not give up. At least last week, Atletico Madrid achieved a crucial record of winning.

First, the score was reversed in the last few minutes of last Wednesday's match against Vallecano. This game might have left Atletico behind Real Madrid by 12 points, but with Julian's outstanding performance and Simeone's substitution adjustment, it finally succeeded in the reversal.

Then, Atletico Madrid reversed the score again against Real Madrid and ended the game with a 5-2 victory, currently only 6 points behind the top.

If the 5-2 victory proves anything, it is Simeone's tactical ability. He showed a superb tactical level when facing Real Madrid. His tactical arrangements are crucial for Atletico Madrid to win the derby. This is also their third victory this season, winning strong opponents in key battles, which proves that they are capable of competing with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the championship.

Simone did a great job from derby preparation (less rest time) to substitution adjustments. The message he conveyed to the players was also clear: no matter how important the game is, you must "enjoy the game." Atletico players did do this, rather than worrying too much about the importance of the game.

In addition, there are tactics for opponents' weaknesses. Previously, Real Madrid conceded only three goals in six games. However, Atletico Madrid broke Real Madrid's defense with a clear and effective tactical arrangement.

Using the space behind Real Madrid's full-back became the key, and Carvajal and Carreras seemed at a loss when facing the speed of Gonzalez, Giuliano and others. The two Argentine players have created multiple threats and created multiple opportunities for Atletico Madrid.

"I like everything about the derby the most," Simeone concluded, one of Atletico's best performances in recent years. Not only on the court, but also on the bench, Simeone unexpectedly chose Sollot to start.

People were expecting Baenna or Griezmann, or even Laspadori. But in the end, the Norwegian made an appearance and played an important role: using high-altitude balls to create second-offensive opportunities.

Although Sollot missed some goals, a pass from Cork eventually turned into a wonderful goal. Simeone's choice once again proved his tactical vision, and he obviously defeated Alonso in this game.
