This is Atleti 50 - The Second Line One

The Second Line One September 21st 2012 Our first European clash of the season was a great chance (risky as it might have sounded at first) for our less frequent starters to earn their stripes and get involved in the tour de force Atleti's stride through European championships has been in the last 13 matches collecting an astonishing 13 consecutive undefeated matches including two European Finals averaging 3 goals per match. Tel Aviv witnessed a sweatless 0-3 win with emerging player to follow Diego Costa scoring a very nice goal and proving a valid backup for Falcao and Raúl García popping into the starting eleven and receiving man of the match recognition for his performance. Before travelling there we went through a 100% Atleti style rollercoaster versus Rayo with 70 minutes to remember and 7 to forget and almost to regret. After leading the match 4-0 the excess of substitutions in a short period of time added to the lack of intensity in the final part of the match allowed Rayo to try a comeback leaving a tight score and wobbly knees in Atleti supporters. The final 4-3 score must be a warning that no win is easy or should be taken for granted. We asked Billy Edwards (BillyEdwards94 on Twitter) from MadridAtleticos.com and AtleticoFans.com to join us to talk about Cantera specially the severe slump the B team is facing right before receiving Real Madrid C from the bottom of the chart. We also have writer Florian Tiemann (@Flooo09 on Twitter) from MadridAtleticos.com to give his views on the recent Atlético news and his views on these two aformentioned matches.
