Atletico Madrid-Real Sociedad ... Atletico with a focus on Europe

The Vicente Calderón will face tomorrow the positive momentum of Atletico Madrid, who has only suffered one defeat in the last seven games against the run of the Royal Society, winless in their most recent six games in a match crucial to the aspirations rojiblancos European. It is an important event both for the whole of Madrid, in the race to get into the top seven places in the table, and the team from San Sebastian, which four consecutive defeats have left him in an awkward position classification, closer to the relegation zone, six points, as in Europe, to eight.

Atletico, however, has revived its claim as a challenger to Europe in recent days, not just the results, a defeat (in the derby with Real Madrid by 1-2), three wins and seven draws in many Most recent duels, but also by improving your game and your stuck in recovery attack. Forgotten their disappointing start to the year, which accumulated four consecutive defeats, the team is now experiencing a good time, but still not enough to return to the top seven places, which give access to European tournaments next season and the does not appear for more than two months.

That sucks Atletico back on this day, which seeks to seventh place in the hands of Espanyol, just one point behind, after his victory last Sunday against Osasuna at the Reyno de Navarra Stadium (2-3) and before receiving the Royal Society tomorrow at the Vicente Calderon. At that meeting, Quique Sanchez Flores returns to the Argentine Sergio "Kun" Aguero, who was serving a sentence in Pamplona and return to the owner of Atletico attack in the crash on Sunday, accompanied by the Uruguayan Diego Forlan, more likely, or Brazilian Diego Costa, scored three goals in the match against Osasuna.

José Antonio Reyes, who played as second striker in Pamplona, will return to its usual position on one end, instead of Raul Garcia, Juanfran Torres Elias Mendes and Brazil occupy the other side and the Portuguese Tiago Mendes and Mario Suárez form of new partner in midfield. In defense, out injured Antonio Lopez, with a sprained right knee, returned to the starting on the left side of Brazilian Filipe Luis, in a repeated line that Czech Tomas Ujfalusi, on the right, and Uruguay Diego Godin and Colombian Luis Perea, as central.

David de Gea will be the goalkeeper. Opposite is the Royal Society, which urgently needed to stop the bleeding as suffering defeats and try to do in a field as the Vicente Calderon, historically favorable, although less and less. Martin Lasarte, coach, will introduce changes to end the inertia erratic team in recent games, after hitting bottom before the Hercules home last weekend and, in addition to the required change in defense for the injury Alberto Bella, Xabi Prieto and Zurutuza also be affected.

Behind the action is less complicated lateral pass to Mike Gonzalez, the player who occupies the center of defense in normal and extreme suffering with the fast, and give input to Vadim Demidov after three weeks of inactivity due to injury fibrillar. What happens in the midfield forward and is pure speculation, because there Lasarte has shown some cryptic and could be that the French position Griezmann look forward to midfielder to connect with Raul Tamudo, disappeared in recent meetings at no have balls.

Catalan striker can be a great offensive argument in this meeting, because a player of his level usually give the maximum in a window as having tomorrow at the Calderon, against a team that still remembers how he swiped Tamudo a Copa del Rey a rogue act in 2000. By the way, the Uruguayan Diego Ifrane, three goals in five games with the blue and white shirt, you will advance their duties and Madrid minute.

Probable teams: Atletico Madrid: De Gea, Ujfalusi, Perea, Godin, Luis Filipe; Juanfran or Elijah, James, Mario Suarez, Reyes and Diego Forlan and Kun Aguero Costa. Real Sociedad: Bravo, Carlos Martinez, Ansotegi, Demidov, Mikel González Rivas, Aranburu, Sarpong, Griezmann, Xabi Prieto, and Tamudo.

Referee: Alvarez Izquierdo (C. Catalan). Stadium: Vicente Calderon. Time: 19:00 (12:00 in Mexico).
