Atletico Madrid have lost the fire in their belly and need to make better use of their summer signings, says Terry Gibson. Diego Simeones side were beaten by their local rivals Real in Saturdays Madrid derby - the final meeting at the Vicente Calderon Stadium - with a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick seeing them fall to a second successive league defeat. Sky Sports Spanish football expert Gibson believes Atletico have lost the motivation that propelled them to the La Liga title in the 2013/14 season and was critical of substitutions made by the manager. The fire in their belly has gone a bit, it really has, Gibson said on the La Liga Weekly podcast. First of all, I was really surprised to see Fernando Torres. That experiment has to stop. When you spend €32m on Kevin Gameiro whos been in pretty good form, he should be starting. La Liga Weekly podcast Jon Driscoll is joined by Terry Gibson to look back on the biggest talking points from La Liga I think the reason Torres played on Saturday was to give them a bit more power up front and Simeone believes that Torres still has the same big-game performances in him. He got the nod to be a six-foot centre forward who puts himself about, but it didnt work.I then thought it was a mistake when they were at their best to make two changes in the middle of that. I didnt think there was an awful lot between the two teams in the first - Real Madrid maybe just shaded it - and for the first ten minutes of the second half, it looked like the Atletico equaliser was only a matter of time and then Simeone made changes. Highlights of the Madrid derby between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid I can understand one, I cant criticise him and say that he shouldnt have played Torres, I felt like it was the right idea then to bring on Gameiro but to then take of Gabi, put Saul Niguez in midfield and Angel Correa on the right, who never got involved in the game at all after that, and then to concede the second goal with terrible defending - then thats when Atletico really deteriorated.Simeone said post-match that he was disappointed, which is probably an understatement, in their reaction to going two goals behind with still so much time in the game to be played. He was disappointed with their attitude and from then on, Real Madrid controlled possession.I dont think 3-0 flattered them but I think the nature of the last 20, 25 minutes when it was easy for Real Madrid, the game was won. That made it look a lot worse for Atletico and there are a number of issues there. Sky Sports Black Friday sale Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price! Gibson also believes that Simeone should be looking to utilise more of his new talent on the bench to revitalise the side, and questions if Atletico should have pursued former striker Diego Costa in the summer. I look at the signings that they have made and some of them are good players, but he doesnt use enough of them, the Sky Sports pundit added. Gameiro was on the bench, weve all forgotten about Nico Gaitan who they paid 20-odd million Euros for and hes not getting a game.When I look back to the successful period, when they were winning the La Liga title, it was Diego Costa and Raul Garcia. Now you compare that with what they have at the moment, that aggression is missing. Atleti should have considered bringing Diego Costa back to the club, Gibson says Antoine Griezmann is a fantastically gifted player but I do wonder if they had saved the money from Sime Vrsaljko, Gameiro and Gaitan, they could have got Costa.Youre talking 60 or 70 million Euros there and Im pretty sure Chelsea might have listened then if that had been the figure offered, so perhaps the recruitment hasnt been the same and the team has changed.You see Garcia for Athletic Bilbao over the weekend and he was a real nuisance that [Atletico] dont have anymore. They dont score anymore goals from set-pieces, which made them successful, and they dont keep clean sheets anymore either.Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price.

Again using a balanced offence and tenacious defence, the second-ranked Shockers became the first Division I team to reach 30-0 in the regular season with a 69-49 victory over Bradley on Tuesday night. "To be the first and only team in college basketball to win 30 without a loss in the regular season," Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said when asked about his theme for the game. "I realize were playing more games ... but it has never happened in the regular season. "So its a first. And these guys like to be the first, and the best." Ron Baker had 15 points to lead four Wichita State players in double figures as the Shockers became the 11th team to reach 30-0, the previous 10 all hitting the 30-win mark during post-season play. The last team to reach 30-0 was UNLV in 1990-91. The Runnin Rebels went 34-0 that season before losing to Duke in the national semifinals. The Shockers (30-0, 17-0 Missouri Valley Conference) have one more regular-season game, at home Saturday against Missouri State. The last team to finish a regular season unbeaten was Saint Josephs in 2003-04 at 27-0. The next season, Illinois got to 29-0 before losing its regular-season finale at Ohio State. A barrage of 3-pointers early in the second half broke it open for Wichita State, which beat Bradley (12-18, 7-10) for the 10th straight time and second this season. After Bradley trimmed a 10-point halftime deficit to eight, Shockers point guard Fred VanVleet made consecutive 3s for a 14-point lead, the visitors largest to that point. By the 12:50 mark, Cleanthony Early had added a 3-pointer and Baker made two 3s off screens for a 50-32 lead. Wichita State finished the game 11 of 21 from beyond the arc, with four players making two or more. Bradley was 4 of 14. "End-of-shot-clock 3s. That was it," Bradley coach Geno Ford said. "Im not saying we were going to win, but you hold them to seven offensive rebounds and have just six turnovers? Ill take it.dddddddddddd "The difference was late-shot-clock 3s and their length at the basket." Ford went on to laud the Shockers defence. "At the rim, they have unbelievable length," Ford said. "Its length and it comes from anywhere. Even (6-foot-3) Baker. "Theyre absolutely terrific at help and recover, and they deny (wing passes). You cant find five teams in the country with that (combination)." Tyshon Pickett finished with 13 points and 15 rebounds for Bradley after nearly reaching a double-double in the first half with 10 points and nine rebounds. Pickett was just 5-of-20 from the field and leading scorer Walt Lemon Jr. was 6 for 20 and had 18 points. "I hate to get beat on the glass," Marshall said of his teams 37-36 rebound disadvantage. "But (Pickett) was a monster. He beasted us a little." Tekele Cotton scored 13 points, Early 12 and VanVleet had 11 for Wichita State, a Final Four participant a year ago. Reserve Darius Carter added nine points and seven rebounds and had one of the Shockers six blocked shots. Miserable shooting prevented Bradley from mounting much of a threat. The Braves were at 25 per cent (11 for 44) through 30 minutes and finished 16 for 59 (27.1 per cent). Bradley was playing host to its highest-ranked opponent since 1982, when then-No. 2 Wichita State lost 55-47 to the Braves who went on to win the NIT. The Shockers led 35-25 at halftime after holding the Braves to 8-of-34 shooting (23.5 per cent). The game was a matchup of the top two defensive teams in the conference, though Wichita State (60.8 points per game) leads Bradley (65.5) comfortably. Offensively, Wichita State is also the MVCs best (75. while Bradley (63. is last. The No. 2 ranking equals the highest ranking in Wichita State history, matching the 1981-82 team. ' ' ' |
