In a preseason friendly, Atlético Madrid scores four!
In a preseason friendly against Cadz, Atlético Madrid scores four goals.
Atlético Madrid started their preseason workouts on Thursday night with a crushing victory over Cadz.
Giménez scored in the 87th minute, along with Morata,
Saul, Wass, and Griezmann.
Antoine Griezmann, a member of France’s national team,
headed the ball early and struck the post before sending up Alvaro Morata to score the first goal.
On his way back from a Juventus loan in Italy,
Morata took the ball in stride before coolly slipping a tight-angle finish under the goalie.
On the verge of halftime,
Griezmann would exert control once more as Joo Félix headed his free-kick back across goal for Sal guez to poke home.
The goal was allowed to stand despite more than a whiff of handball in the final play.
After the break,
seasoned defender Daniel Wass scored three goals in a row by launching a strong shot into the top corner before Griezmann added another with a diving header.
The sting of the game was removed by Diego Simeone’s brutal roasting of his team in the second half. Lvaro Giménez scored a late consolation goal for Cadz to make
the score 4-1 after Santiago Arzamendia’s cross was crossed in.
Without VAR, Morata and Witsel excel for Atlético Madrid scores against Cádiz.
The preseason for Atlético Madrid scores has taken on a life of its own.
After their summer break, the athletes report for a demanding training camp at Los Angeles de San Rafael. After that,
there will be a friendly game in Burgo de Osma (to honour Jess Gil’s memory) and another one in Carranza to continue the positive relationship with the Cádiz board.
The Ramón de Carranza Trophy competition no longer takes place as part of a summer tournament like it once did,
but Atlético’s participation lends the venerable trophy some cachet. For many years,
the Teresa Herrera and the Ramón de Carranza Trophy match were among the highlights of August.
Cristiano Ronaldo is not necessary because Diego Simeone’s team is excellent and has a wealth of offensive options.
The first goal’s scorer,
lvaro Morata, was outstanding in and around the box, which is fantastic news for Atlético and the Spanish national team. It’s challenging to accommodate him and Antoine Griezmann now that he’s back,
