Good afternoon, dear Osasunists! Here we are again, and another weekend that Osasuna is in trouble!
Our team play in a difficult stadium, at Vicente Calderon, which is living on a dream in Europe and in the home competition. After winning last European League championship, Simeone's players try to keep their supporters' illusion on extending the fight for La Liga to three teams instead of the classical two.
Atletico Madrid are actually second in the Liga and they play against Osasuna, the last in that same classification. Mendilibar's players have been only able to win Levante ( 4-0 ), with 13 points and in European posts now. Besides, Osasuna only got a draw at home last weekend.
Last year there were football stars in both teams, but this year there will be friend meetings, but only one star in the field: Falcao. He is even promoted for the award of the Golden Ball in the fight between Ronaldo and Messi. It is very difficult for the Portuguese to beat the Argentinian, but the Colombian is playing even better than the player in the white team.
After last night Barcelona victory against Rayo, and Messi's two goals, Falcao and his team need to keep on struggling to mantain the distance with the Catalonian team. Many goals, objectives, for a good team and Mendilibar must think of a team to beat that enthusiasm!
Osasuna's coach can't use some important players for his kickoff team. Damiá is sanctioned, Marc Bertran injured, and Susi stayed in Pamplona. After last weekend celebrations on Puñal's record of played matches, the team need to concentrate on getting three points away, far from EL SADAR ( again the official name for our stadium ).
Simeone, on the other hand, likes moving his team after a week game in Europe. His powerful team can play with unusual players like Arda Turan, Godin, the missed Juanfran or the loved Raul Garcia.
Possible kickoff
Atletico de Madrid: Courtois, Juanfran, Godín, Miranda, Filipe Luis, Mario Suárez, Gabi, Koke, Raul García, Falcao and Diego Costa.
Osasuna: Andres Fernandez, Oier, Arribas, Lolo, Nano, Puñal, Timor, Cejudo, Armenteros, Lamah y Joseba Llorente.
