Stoppage-time goals are sinking Atlético Madrileño
Teruel have signed Bebé, and relegation for the reserve side would drag the C team down too
The Atlético Madrileño debate looks at the reserve side's relegation danger
Jorge San Cristóbal, El Club Uría's academy expert, fears the worst against Teruel after so many late goals conceded, and issues a warning: if Atlético Madrileño go down, the C team would be relegated with them to Tercera RFEF.
With Atlético Madrileño now eight games without a win, Jorge San Cristóbal says everything is going wrong for the team. Their next opponents, bottom-of-the-table Teruel, have made two quality signings for the division, among them former Rayo player Bebé. He can already picture it: going 2-0 up, conceding one and then Bebé scoring from 30 metres. Stoppage time and goals from the halfway line have left him with 'almost a trauma'.
'Sancris' hopes the results come soon, and explains why it is so urgent: if the reserve side are relegated, the C team, even if they stay up or reach the play-offs, would be dragged down to Tercera RFEF, the fifth tier. Madrileño are going through a really difficult spell and Fernando Torres is racking his brains to get better results. It is true the team did not start badly, but right now they are caught in a dangerous run of poor results.
Rubén Uría sums it up: "We have to stay in Primera Federación no matter what".
