Good afternoon, dear Osasunists! La Liga is back after a week of International games for many players. And the opponent team is a strong one: Atletico de Madrid.
This team is the second in the capital of Spain. It is usually called "El Pupas", but last year was the only Spanish team to win two titles in a season!
The match is this evening at a late time ( 21.00 hrs ). However, the supporters are eager to watch another game at the Reyno after the three consecutive victories of Osasuna and the second victory away in a raw for our team. Besides, the Reyno de Navarra stadium is always a difficult place to visit for Atletico, as they lost in the last six seasons.
Quique Sanchez Flores, their coach, will have to prepare a team without their star, Kun Aguero, as the Argentinan is amonested for this weekend, but there are some good players at their side we really know: Raul Garcia and Juanfran are two of their names, but do not forger the wingdefender Antonio Lopez!They also have other good players like Reyes or Filipe Luis.
Osasuna also have some problems to get their ideal kickoff team. Pandiani seems to have got over his problems, but he isn't ready to play a full match, and Mendilibar trusts on Kike Sola again. I have already confesed my likes, but I have to admit that he's improved in the last year and he may have matured enough to play in First Division. Other players who can play again for Osasuna are Nekounan and Soriano. They can stop players like Raul or Filipe in Atletico side.
The match tonight might give a clear idea for both team for the rest of the season. There are only four points between them, and the media are talking about Europe in Madrid, and the tranquility of last games in Osasuna, but It may change after this game and Osasuna might have to think of other goals and Quique might suppose a nightmare for the chairman and supporters of Atletico on Monday.
Gora Osasuna!Aupa Rojillos!
