Diego Simeone, coach of Atletico Madrid, demanded his players to control the rhythm of the game that brings his team with AC Milan on Tuesday, and do to close spaces inside the stadium in front of Milan players so they can transit to the quarterfinals of the Champions League football.

It is noteworthy that Atletico Madrid won the first leg against Milan, which was held in the Italian city of Milan, with one straight goal.

Simone Said during a press conference, "We have won in the first leg with weak outcome and this will encourage the opposing team on the attack and the search for compensation goal, so we control the rhythm of the game and close the spaces in front of the opponent, and it will control the midfield by numerical increasing which is the key to excel in the game. We must not play an open game because that is what the Italian team wishes. "

Technical Manager of Atletico Madrid added: "The Italian team includes elements of a good offensive and this is what motivates him to play aggressively, and unless monitor good players who enjoy the high speed we will suffer greatly during the meeting."

And Simone praised the Italian team, said: "Milan a very strong team, and used to run such big tournaments, featuring a lot of talented players."

Simone was taken from Balotelli, Milan striker example for players who enlisted ranks within the Italian club and described him as strong attacker.

He added: “Balotelli is a great striker, but he needs other players in order to pass the ball to him, even create opportunities to achieve his goals, and this is the source of the gravity of the Italian team.”

Uruguayan Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin, who was accompanied by Simone during a press conference, saying: "I expect a tough match like the first leg, and I expect Milan to appear in is his best status it used to run such big tournaments.”

Godin added: “We should not trust too much the outcome of the first leg, it is weak result, and we cannot rely on a strong team as the team in front of the Italian, we have to play the game as if it did not make any goals during the first leg and we consider it the final match.”

From Tito to Tata... Barcelona plunges and savior is absent

Blaugrana Today lost away from home for the second time in a row

Catalan club performance falls in this period of time every season... but this time there is no one to save him

Barcelona fell in the Spanish league again, unexpected defeat in front of the team lowly Real Valladolid, which is battling relegation and achieved a miracle to win at home over Barcelona for the first time on Jose Zorilla since 12 years and in particular since 12 October 2002.

Barca Loss is the fourth in La Liga this season under the leadership of Argentine coach Tata Martino, regardless of the outcome the Catalans performance has appeared very dim in front of Valladolid placed 17th in the table standings Liga, this defeat may make Barcelona slip to third if it wins his rivals on lead Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in their games this week against Levante and Celta Vigo respectively.

The striking that Barcelona team retreats performance in this time period for the second consecutive season, months of March and April Blaugrana offers dim performance.

Last season Barcelona hosted Real Madrid at the Camp Nou during the matches of Copa del Ray and received a harsh defeat 3-1 by The Meringues before days of losing 2-1 in the league at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the league despite the fact that Jose Mourinho had to pay the team Reserve for loss of hope to compete for the league.

Barcelona did not show the expected level in front of Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of UEFA last season, in the month of April, and qualified for the semi-final by the role of Legal goal, but Messi participating in last minutes of the second leg helped the team of overthrowing the stubborn French giant.

 then Argentine star was injured, he was able to manufacture the difference, which suffer from injury, and the team was venturing Messi because he savior who does not fail them at all, and when he carried out his energy seen how collapsed Barcelona against Bayern Munich by seven clean goals in total of coming and going leg from the semi-final Champions League of Europe.

Repeat it this season with a different coach form Tito Vilanova to Tata Martino, the same decline in the level in the same period of time, but last season was Barcelona had settled the league early because of the emergence of Real Madrid level of the beginning of the season, but this season has come out of Barcelona empty-handed if continued performance of this modest level in the coming meetings.

The savior this season is absent, Lionel Messi is suffering like the rest of the conscious team that appears upon physically exhaustion, ship containing sink, and no one saved as usual, and perhaps even if the reports true that indicate the possibility of the departure of Messi from Camp Nou end castle of the season, we may see the savior leaving the Catalan ship sinking!! 

Pellegrini gorgeous... you are less bad than Mancini

At first I congratulate both Supporters and lovers of Manchester City to achieve the team's first championship season in England, although it is the least technically, financial and competitive but it is better to start looking for a team to achieve the triple local.

There is no doubt that Citizens achieve the English League Cup title, and progress in the FA Cup, and before that for periods of the order issued by the Premier League table, which still owns the preference by the existence of two games in hand if he can win to regain his lead from Chelsea. All of these factors are the success of the formation of the team, which is ready to compete for all competitions.

Many observers wondering what differed between the City and the current City Italian Roberto Mancini last season? Why City this season, reached the second round of the Champions League for the first time in its history, while Mancini failed on two occasions evacuated out of the group stage?

These logical questions, especially since the composition of teams did not change drastically even say that the new elements played a role in changing the results, the current team miss the services of Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli and compensate them by Negredo and Jovetić, in addition to the presence of Fernando one of the best additions for blue Manchester but he is not alone cause change the shape and strength of Manchester City this season.

Perhaps all these factors push the reader to believe that Pellegrini is the password in this dramatic shift for City this season, but in fact that the Chilean coach has not added to the team only efficacy offensive and use the style of a more open, contrary to what he was doing former coach.

While his real accomplished it was less worse than his predecessor, who was tying Manchester City-style defensive strange often, especially on tournament like the Premier League where they need to the attack efficacy of the scoring in front of young by adults.

Pellegrini was more realistic and better use of distinctive elements owned by, and other dozens of trainers are able to deliver Manchester City as Pellegrini brought it, it did not provide "magic" As far as working with the appropriate conditions to him.

First, on the technical level, the team does not lack anything at all to compete for the league title, as well as at the level of competitors and the instability of their findings, so City advanced to the lead after falling Arsenal did not impose the same from the beginning as leader and dominant for the title.

I still say... Manchester City needs better manager than Mancini, as well as his successor, need to youth coach more and more daring and a desire to achieve a historic achievement.
