Atletico to Face Sevilla in Decisive Match

The Atletico / Sevilla game tomorrow will be one of great expectations.  This match gives the clubs a chance to differentiate themselves from one another since they are neck and neck with eight victories, with eight ties, nine losses (8-8-9)—leaving them with 32 points each.  Another indication that these teams are balanced is that both Atletico and Sevilla have a different driver on the wheel.   Sevilla has their new coach Michel, and Atletico has Simeone.  These new coaches have given a new face to these teams, and a decisive game is in front of them.

Sevilla F.C.’s home stadium, Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, is a tough pitch to play on and  Atletico is completely aware of it.  Upon their last visit, they walked out with a sour taste in their mouth, tying 0-0.   A Disappointing result for former Atletico manager, Manzano, who concluded that game was theirs had they worked harder to win.  The ‘Colchoneros’ will arrive at Pizjuan tomorrow to face a complicated team in a stadium where it is never easy to win. 

Indeed, tomorrow will be quite the challenge for the visitors, and Atletico de Madrid midfileder Koke confirms it as he states that, "It’s always hard to win in Sevilla. Anything goes to beat this team, and for us this is a final game." 

I do advice everyone to sit down, grab some popcorn, because it feels like it’s going to be quite a collision of skill and pride.
