The second round of the Copa del Rey cross to Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid at the Vicente Calderon in a stunning derby and a huge challenge for both teams in height, repeat the last final of the Champions League, with the likely revival Fernando Torres as a lease on the premises.
Three days after gathering more than 40,000 fans at
Manzanares in the largest and most numerous presentation of the history of
Athletic, Atletico idol is ready to debut in his return to the club after seven
years and a half; a boost to the group of Argentine Diego Simeone for his
'eternal' rival.
Torres certainly will play, probably even starts, as
tested on Monday, in an overflowing passion derby and, in recent years,
indisputable equality with the last final of the Champions League in the
memory, determined in extension 4-1 the 'tenth' of Real Madrid and without
consolation for Atletico, who was champion to 93 minutes, until Sergio Ramos
1-1.
They are numbers that confirm the feelings of his most
recent clashes, three this season with unbeaten Atletico because he tied at the
Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of the Supercopa of Spain (1-1), he won the
return at the Vicente Calderon (1-0) and he won the third game of the season
1-2.
Ansaldi and Joao Miranda, recovering from his injuries,
will still be low at Atletico, who have lost only two of their 16 most recent
official meetings, reached Barcelona in second place in league and has reduced
its disadvantage Real Madrid to a single point, albeit with a game more.
They also lacked tactical variants against Valencia,
motivation surpassed by the rival, and Ancelotti wants his players not to fall
into a defect that has always tried to stay away, overconfidence.
In a January full of matches, the Italian coach should
doubts arise about their 'wardrobe' and decide if template has to fight to win
three titles. Emphasizes the freshness of the group but the trip to Dubai, end
of year could have consequences.
The way in Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona
almost certainly if exceeded, invites the Real Madrid to return to the Premier
League title the adjective minor. If you deleted will focus on two real goals
of the season: the European Cup eleventh and win the league. If you exceed the
pulse with the neighboring team will face a tough test your fitness.
Brand new start in goal, in a competition that belongs to
the Costa Rican Keylor Navas. Defending the French Raphael Varane appears as a
natural replacement for Ramos in the center of defense and everything indicates
that the Portuguese Coentrao will break a Marcelo freshly recovered from a
muscular mishap.
