REVIEW: ATLETICO de MADRID vs DEPOR 0-0 Deportivo lost ground on the leaders Real Madrid as they are held to a goalless draw at Atletico Madrid. This means Madrid has increased the gap with Deportivo to six points. Also good news arrived as the single point Deportivo earned was enough to shorten the gap with second placed Valencia, who lost in Mestalla against Barcelona (0-1). Barcelona’s good run sees them getting closer to the top three teams in Spain. Irureta opted for Romero in central defence instead of Cesar, who probably was rested for the Champions League game against Juventus next week. The coach also used his favourite tactics with two defensive midfielders as Sergio played alongside Mauro Silva and Fran was left out of the starting eleven. First Half The game starts defensively with both parties showing (too) much respect for the opposite team. There are not many occasions as the battle is on the midfield. De los Santos hard midfield work permits the locals to dominate the match. A lot of Atletico’s play came from the right side where Aguilera and Novo were very active. This resulted in several dangerous moments in front of Molina’s goal. Nikolaidis and Arizmendi had the best changes for Atletico , who had a bit more control in the first half and Deportivo showed a lack of ambition. Second half Also the second half started with a domination of Atletico in the first minutes. Depor had been pushed back by the locals and were not able to get out of it. Irureta decided to enter Fran in the game on behalf of Valeron, who could not show his skills this match. Aguilera (Valeron怎麽了>< 是太累了吗><) again was the most offensive player together with Sergi on the other flank. But the attacks of Atletico would also give Depor more space for the counter-attacks. Luque had two dangerous attacks on the left but both passes could not be finished by Tristan, who also had failed to score in an empty goal from a Victor pass. In the end Depor were more dominating but also Atletico had a good opportunity as Molina stopped Nikolaidis from scoring with a good save. (Q Q Tristan...) --
