The match between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid this Tuesday left much to talk about. One of those who didn't remain silent was Gonzalo Miró, who analyzed what happened at the end of the game on the program Tiempo de Juego. His comments drew attention, especially when addressing the tension between the players, reflected in a controversial scene after Brahim Díaz's goal.
The Post-Match Scene
Movistar showed Brahim Díaz approaching Simeone and saying: "Talk now." This happened after Simeone said before the classic that he didn't believe Real Madrid would try to "compensate in the midfield with Brahim."
This comment didn't sit well in the white locker room, and Brahim's reaction was clear. Gonzalo Miró, analyzing this moment, didn't hesitate to question the Real Madrid player's attitude, suggesting it wasn't such a big deal.
The Controversy with Brahim Díaz
Miró criticized Brahim's reaction, wondering if Simeone's words implied he considered him "a dud." According to Miró's analysis, if that was the interpretation, "Brahim's very thin skin" wasn't the most appropriate to face the situation.
"I'm very surprised by the attitude of some players," expressed Miró, alluding to what he considered an excessive response to a simple opinion from Cholo Simeone.
The Match and Atlético's Recovery
During the match, Brahim Díaz was one of the key figures, scoring the goal that defined the score. The forward played almost 90 minutes, and although Carlo Ancelotti surprised by starting him, the decision was correct. According to Miró, the goal was crucial for Real Madrid's victory, but he also commented on Atlético de Madrid's attitude during the match.
"I think Atlético has recovered very well from a start that could have meant a dark cloud for the rest of the match," commented Miró. Despite being behind on the scoreboard with Rodrygo's early goal, Atlético showed character and managed to balance the match.
The Turning Point
Miró highlighted that Rodrygo's goal in the 4th minute was crucial. However, he also pointed out that it was a "very specific mistake" by Atlético, who were overwhelmed in that initial play. The positive, according to Miró, was the reaction of the red-and-whites, who, beyond the goal against, demonstrated a great ability to recover.
"That is the word that defines Atlético for me. Even with the 1-1 in the second half, they came out to be superior to Real Madrid, to dominate the match," said Miró. According to him, that attitude is what is expected from Atlético, who, although they didn't win, left a good impression.
