Want to watch the match but apparently it was only available on MUTV. 
From post match reports, the Madrid players were clearly in a more aggressive stance. A tough match comparing to the previous friendlies. |
Yeah Atletico was the only proper test of the pre-season. As usual Simeone decided to get a result rather than play football, and unfortunately our forward line spurned quite a few chances and we got caught out near the end. We lost the ball up the pitch and Dalot showed Felix way too much space for that goal. Ten Hag must be seething at how they lost the ball.
Oh well, hope they learned. On the plus side, Eriksen and Malacia were looking good.
Vallecano last night were surprisingly tight and crisp. Again it was Telles being in two minds about who to press, that allowed them to pass it in for their equaliser. He's had many a chance pre-season but never convinced. Guess he's way down the pecking order now, especially with Malacia doing well. Garnacho was quite the spark. Youngsters didn't look out of place, suspect ten Hag will be giving some of them chances this season.
Ther gaffer should now have a pretty good idea of his first team now.
Looking forward to the season opener.
