La Liga 14/15

[Ursegor]

The home games don't worry me. Real Sociedad, Getafe, Deportivo, Almeria are all manageable in Camp Nou. Neither plays good football or can park a proper bus. Valencia will be tough but manageable in Camp Nou. Most likely it comes down to the away games against Sevilla, Espanyol and Atletico.

Sevilla is still unbeaten at home this season. Good for us that Madrid didn't play them yet as well.

Too bad we lost the head to head against RM. Otherwise two draws at Atletico and Sevilla would be enough, provided we win every other match. Maybe not scoring that third goal in the Clasico will cost us.

I hope we become champions against Atletico, it would be fitting.

Simeones sole purpose this season is to ruin our season, so he probably doesnt care if they win or lose the last match vs Barca, but we will see.

I don't think that will be the case. Atletico wants to destroy real Madrid sure but they might need those 3 points to secure CL spot. So mostly they will give 100%.

I think he will be more focussed on being third with Atletico and prefers not to let Barca be champions at Vicente calderon.

Honestly, if winning the last match would mean that Real Madrid wins the league, i think Simeone wouldnt want to win, even if they needed those 3 points to get to CL. He is completely obsessed with beating us this season, but he doesnt seems to care at all for other matches.

You overrate the importance of Real to Simeone, its just easy for him to beat you guys, its not like its his life mission like with Mourinho and Barca.

He clearly is very obsessed, last season he had the bus ready and parked in pretty much any big matches. This season the bus is only there when we meet them, like he doesnt care to organize his defence anymore when he face other teams. But the double decker is always there waiting for us.

 

[Morten]

But we will see what happens, if Simeone really wants to he can make it difficult for anyone.

Why would they give up CL for something so silly? If atletco defeats real in CL. Revenge will be done. They don't care if real wins the la liga. Simeone and atletico will put all their energy in CL. If real doesn't build up on the last match atletico might just surprise real. But my bet is real edging past atletico. Carlo Is not that stupid coach.

You see the double Decker because real is struggling to break atletico unlike barca. It is not because atletico is only parking the bus against real.

Not a very likely scenario anyway, imo. Atletico will do enough to get a 3-4 place before the last match. In which case Atletico wouldnt have anything to play for, so Simeone wouldnt care what his team does at that time.

No bus against Barcelona in 2015, Simeone thought he somehow could try to play open games vs Barca, dont know what went through his head. Atletico gave away so much space it was ridiculous.

I have watched Atletico alot in 2015, the intensity and desire they usually have is somewhat gone, but against us its back at its best again. There is a clear difference when they play us and the rest. This has led me to believe that Atletico doesnt really care much for other matches, but they will do enough to get acceptable results overall, but they could do alot better if they showed the same spirit as they do vs us.
