Atlético Madrid today get their first taste of competitive football under new boss Tom Brocklebank. It's expected that success is achieved from the off, and Olympique Lyonnais are out to ruin any plans of a winning start.

The main threat for Los Indios is in-form striker Diego Forlán, who bagged himself 8 goals in 5 appearances in pre-season, with an average rating upwards of 8.00.

The match will be played at Estadio Vicente Calderón, and kick-off will be at 19:45, coverage starting at 19:00 here at Marca, through live online streaming, radio commentary and television...

A dissapointing match as far as Atlético had been predicted. Tom Brocklebank was obviously frustrated with his teams loss at home, in an interview after the match, Tom gave his opinions: "Well overall it wasn't a terrible performance, we can definately take positives from this game, we levelled it whilst playing with 10 men so that was one of them. It was an unlcuky penalty for Juanito to concede, but unfortunately that was the difference between us."
Asked on what action Lacina Traoré will be facing on his red card, and his position in the team, Tom had this to say: "The managerial staff have decided to fine Lacina one weeks wages, as it was a silly foul to give away and we don't tolerate that kind of behaviour. He will have to show me over the coming weeks whether he's worth a place in the team, and he's been banned for the next two matches so he can focus on training for now."

The second leg was shown here on Marca, and here's the post-match information.

Tom Brocklebank was clearly pleased with the draw, as his team weren't favourites for the match, but he will obviously be dissapointed that his team were one goal away from salvaging extra-time.

(ive decided not to write as much, it'll get boring for you lot, and give me arm ache :p )

Atlético Madrid have completed the signing of transfer-listed Paulo Ferreira from Chelsea. Tom Brocklebank was desperate to recruit more players for the back line in a bid to bolster his team for the coming season. The transfer was completed at a cut-price £1.6m.

The La Liga season draws nearer, and with it the prospect of Tom Brocklebank getting his first chance at playing one of the clubs he outlined in his bid for success. Barcelona will be playing at home against Atlético, and Tom Brocklebank has already made modifications to his tactics.
Sticking with his favoured 4-3-3, in training it appears he is using a defensive playmaker in the centre of midfield, with the usual attacking centre mids either side providing support to the 3-pronged attack. The forwards have been changed back to his favoured system of 2 deep-lying forwards either side of a poacher, his team seem to be playing more rigid than they were, with forwards less likely to defend and vice-versa.

Today sees Atlético Madrid travel to Barcelona int heir first math of the Liga BBVA season, expectations are high for the overall season, but few can see Atléti salvaging at least point against the Catalans, with them being Evens to win.
Tom Brocklebank chooses a counter-attacking mentality to start the match...
An entertaining first half is brought to a close at the Camp Nou with the score at 1-0 to Barcelona, an early substitution for Atléti saw them bring off injured Ujfalusi, and bring on Jaunito out of place at right back.

Atléti's next league match is agaisnt Getafe, and it will be interesting to see how Tom Brocklebank's side recover from the early setbacks. As always, Marca will be covering the action from every perspective...

View attachment 40457 Today Madrid correspondent José Tejón Sanz watched Atlético Madrid in action at their training ground in Madrid at Ciudad Deportiva del Nuevo Cerro del Espino. And as expected, a change in tactics were seen from the head coach, the team appeared to be training into a slight variant of the 4-3-3 system, which was largely successful in pre-season for Los Colchoneros, playing instead with a lone striker playing as an attacking target man, with 2 attack minded wing men, which in turn saw star player Sergio Aguero begin training into his new position of left wing.
View attachment 40469 He is already competent in this position, after being played there by his country and his previous club Independiente.
The central of the midfield triplet being brought back into a defensive midfield position, but still with a playmaker role.
The change looks to be working, and it will be good to see how this change benefits the team...
 
yeah, terrible start for me, looks like 4-3-3 isnt working, ill be goin back to old reliable from my past save :p good luck with you mate :)
