Osasuna lose again, this time to current EA Sports League leaders Atletico Madrid. Osasuna’s performance was good and they faced one of the strongest teams in Europe. Again, the side center denies Osasuna anything positive and meets with another defeat in the 16th round match in San Mames.
Vicente Moreno has never beaten Cholo Simeonenever managed to beat the Argentinian coach and he came close when he was the head coach of Espanyol. Osasuna fought and offered a more than interesting approach, but, once again, they left empty-handed.
Eleven of the revolutionsWith Moy, Ibanez and Raul playing with five backs, the Valencia coach’s risky approach paid off well. The second half was a different story as Julian’s goal tipped the balance. If Osasuna equalized, Vicente would break that bad streak with Simeonebecause they were never connected either. Few clear-cut chances and a weak finish in the second half.
We’ll have to wait for the second round to see if that happens poor statistics from the Valencia coachit can be reversed.
