Vicente Calderon Stadium will play tomorrow in a ticket to the semifinals of the Copa del Rey in a crucial derby, which Atletico, without the Argentinean Sergio 'Kun' Agüero, face their hopes of a comeback against Real as favorites Madrid, with a two goal first leg advantage. Ahead after the first chapter of the tie a week ago at the Bernabeu with a 3-1 victory target, are 90 minutes of tension, intensity and demand for both teams, but with many more obligations for Atletico, which need at least two goals to lift the side marker.It is a very complicated task for Atletico, unable to beat Real Madrid in the derby last nineteen (from October 30, 1999 when he won by 1-3), which has shown too erratic this season, facing the appointment a team more limited than its rival and, above all, without Kun Agüero. The decline in the '10 'Atletico, who suffered a torn hamstring fibers in the left leg in the first leg, leaves Quique Sanchez Flores without their offensive leader and without their most decisive player.
Nor does he expect a simple game to Real Madrid, who on Sunday granted a draw in their visit to Almeria (1-1) and in the face without any relaxation, the stake of tomorrow. The white team arrives at the third derby of the season against Atletico in the middle of internal turmoil and with Jose Mourinho in the middle of all controversy.
Inmate. The one that faces the Director General, Jorge Valdano, with crosses in the media statements that damage the relationship and wear them both. And two external. With the establishment arbitration and rival supporters. In the Calderon expect a night of insults that Luso does not understand why they are not punished.
Even fewer understand how you can show your name in a statement of the Spanish Federation. So hurt after reporting two penalties that were not identified in Almeria, humbly ask the referees. Real Madrid comes after a draw against bottom club Primera Almeria. A failure, although correctable, generates internal tremors.
Elimination in the Copa del Rey tournament again giving importance, sparking a crisis that no one can bring to the club. The two goals ahead of Mourinho will manage the first team at the Vicente Calderon. Recovered in the central defense Carvalho as a starter, in place of Raul Albiol. Duda between Sami Khedira and Fernando Gago in midfield, even it is possible to align the two with Xabi Alonso if you bet on a trivote.
And everything suggests that Karim Benzema will receive a new chance to start. Real Madrid has not won at home in Cup this year, tied for the visit to Real Murcia (0-0) and lost to Levante (2-0) - and do not get it for five years. The last time was on January 18, 2006 at the stadium of Real Betis (0-1) in the first leg of the quarterfinals.
Atletico, meanwhile, has grown from the disappointment of two defeats last week, a 4-1 before the Hercules and the 3-1 against Real Madrid, with the last goal target in the final moments, and the mood hit Low of Agüero for the clash tomorrow at a boost of confidence with their 3-0 win against Mallorca.
That victory, which is essential for their Champions League aspirations, has restored the hopes of a comeback to the fans of Atletico, who am almost fill the Vicente Calderon, and has strengthened the team's self-esteem, which has insisted in recent days the chances of comeback in the match on Thursday.
To do this, Quique Sanchez Flores bet on the punch of the Uruguayan Diego Forlan and Jose Antonio Reyes as the front, but also handles the option of Diego Costa; return to the starting Juanfran Torres and maintain the Brazilian Paulo Assuncao and Portuguese Tiago Mendes in midfield. Fran Merida and Raul Garcia completed Atletico midfield, while on defense also provides something new, as the return to the starting of the Colombian Luis Perea, back to the call after suffering with tonsillitis and will form the center of the rear the Uruguayan Diego Godin and Álvaro Domínguez.
The Czech Tomas Ujfalusi and Brazilian Filipe Luis, side, and David de Gea, in goal, also form the rear of Atletico clash tomorrow, for which Quique, with casualties Mario Suárez, Antonio Lopez, Aguero and Jorge Pulido, has invited his twenty players available. Probable teams: Atletico Madrid: De Gea, Ujfalusi, Perea, Dominguez Godin, Luis Filipe; Juanfran, Assuncao, Tiago, Fran Mérida, Reyes and Forlan.
