Atletico Madrid : The leaders In Defense

 With todays win against Deportivo La Coruna, Los Rojiblancos side have shown their defensive leadership once again with another clean sheet in 6 games that makes it 4 in La Liga so far this season.


   

 Diego Simeone has made sure that his defense doesn't get played against any attack and he has his full faith on his four defenders who have been the regular starters in almost every Liga game this season.
Juanfran, Savic, D.Godin and Filipe luis.

They have started 4 games out of 6 and only changes made by Cholo in 2 games were S.Vrsaljka in place of Juanfran against Gijón and Giménez in place of S.Savic against Deportivo.




As far as attack is concerned 11 goals out of 12 have been scored by either Griezmann [5], Gamiero [2], Torres [2] or Correa [2].


And against Barcelona it was very much evident that even the likes of Griezmann, Torres, Correa were all involved in defense making things difficult for the Catalan side.


Atletico plays Bayern on Wednesday. With the defense they have it would be a lot more interesting to see how Ancelotti plans to break their defense as it is the most powerful attack Atletico has in the most recent times.
