Fifth in the League and out of the places of the Champions Leaguethe Atletico Madrid this Saturday against Getafe (9:00 p.m.) the first of the finals that await him to try to ensure his presence in the next edition of the highest European competition, a fundamental objective for the future and the growth of the entity, as recognized in numerous occasions Miguel Angel Gil Marin the CEO. Improving the performance of the team Diego Simeon It happens, without a doubt, to recover the defensive solidity that it exhibited in past campaigns and manage to keep the goal of Jan Oblakthat this course has only finished unbeaten in six of the 22 league games played.
A figure that draws attention because the Slovenian has been the winner of the Zamora Award in five of the last six editions. But there is a much more surprising fact: the rojiblanco, according to data from BeSoccer Pro, is the goalkeeper with the worst percentage of saves in the five major leagues on the continent.
Those of Valencia and Barcelona, their last two games in the League, exemplify the hole in the goal and the defensive weakness that is taking its toll on Atlético de Madrid this season. The two shots on goal from the Mestalla team in the Metropolitan duel ended up in the net, although Simeone’s ended up coming back (3-2), and at the Camp Nou there were plenty of goals from the Barça team in their four shots between the sticks . cloud, the goalkeeper of miracles and impossible interventions, did not add a single save, a pattern that, strangely, has been going on throughout the season. According to BeSoccer Pro data, the Slovenian, with 49.15%, is the Spanish League goalkeeper with the lowest percentage of saves per shot received. Nor is there another goalkeeper with worse statistics in the Premier, Serie A, the Bundesliga or Ligue 1.
Cloud, one of the team captains and with a contract as an rojiblanco until June 2023, he had never conceded as many goals in the League as he has this season, in which he has already scored 30 goals in 22 games. In the defeat against Barcelona, the Slovenian surpassed his worst record as Atlético goalkeeper in the national championship, the 27 goals that he scored in the 2018-19 campaign, a figure that he repeated again in the following one.
Throughout his stay at the rojiblanco club, Jan Oblakwho became the most expensive goalkeeper until then in Spanish football when Atlético paid 16 million euros to Benfica for him, his figure has grown in size against rival strikers, but this season he seems to have caught the gray tone of his team , being marked in goals such as those received at the Coliseum against Getafe or in the visit to Cádiz.
Fundamental pillar in previous seasons and decisive in numerous games with hands and stretches that seemed impossible, cloud, like Atlético de Madrid, does not show the same level as in previous years. In the last game of the national championship, Barcelona shot eight times and the four that went between the three sticks ended in celebration. In the Camp Nou, the Slovenian, for the first time, he conceded four goals in a league match. A figure that in his eight seasons as a mattress goalkeeper he had only suffered twice before: in the Champions League group stage of the 2018-19 season against Borussia Dortmund (4-0) and against Bayern Munich in the 2020 campaign -21, which also ended with the same result (4-0).
