Atlético: Intense Preparation with Eyes on Espanyol

Atlético de Madrid continues its preparation at the Ciudad Deportiva de Majadahonda, with Diego Simeone at the helm, fine-tuning the tactics for the crucial match against Espanyol.

After a morning session where the Argentinian coach worked with the same players as the previous day, the squad is focused on overcoming recent defeats in LaLiga against Getafe and Barcelona. The pressure is on, and the team knows it.

In training, Simeone did not have the Argentinian internationals (Julián Alvarez, De Paul, Molina, Correa, and Giuliano), the Uruguayan Giménez, Reinildo, and Sorloth, who have not yet joined.

Oblak and Le Normand were present, although the French defender performed exercises separately after his full participation in commitments with the Spanish national team. It is expected that this Thursday, in the afternoon, all the internationals will join the group in Majadahonda, intensifying preparations for the match. The Colchoneros fans are confident that the team will recover the path to victory and demonstrate their claw at the Metropolitano.

Julián Álvarez: Rest or Start Against Espanyol?

After an intense FIFA date, the big question among Atlético fans is whether Diego Simeone will rest Julián Álvarez in the next match against Espanyol.

The ‘Cholo’ has opted for this strategy in previous FIFA dates, resting the Argentine striker in the following league match, although this time the situation is different after recent defeats against Getafe and Barcelona.

Álvarez, the team’s top scorer with 23 goals, has been fundamental both in his national team and at Atlético. His participation in Argentina’s matches, where he started against Uruguay and Brazil, raises the question of whether he will be 100% for Saturday’s match.

On previous occasions after playing with Argentina, Álvarez was a substitute in the following match. However, Álvarez’s impact on Atlético is undeniable. He has played in all 44 matches this season, proving to be a key player in Simeone’s scheme.

Since the last international break, he has started in the vast majority of matches, scoring 16 of his 23 goals in this period. With the important match against Espanyol on the horizon, and the return of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Barcelona at the Metropolitano, Simeone’s decision on Álvarez’s participation will be crucial for the future of the team. The fans hope that ‘La Araña’ is ready to continue demonstrating his worth and contribute to Atlético’s victory.

Correa: Rojiblanco Future at Stake?

Atlético de Madrid is experiencing crucial moments regarding the future of Ángel Correa. The talented Argentine forward, a key piece in Simeone’s scheme, has sparked the interest of Mexican clubs, especially Tigres, whose president has publicly acknowledged the player’s qualities and the desire to incorporate him into their ranks.

Despite the negotiations, Correa remains focused with his national team, focused on international commitments. His recent sanction in La Liga, after being expelled in Getafe, adds uncertainty to his situation at the club.

While his continuity in the Metropolitano is not ruled out, everything indicates that these could be his last weeks as a rojiblanco player. The Atlético management values ​​his dedication and talent, but Tigres’ offer and Rayados’ interest could accelerate his departure. Colchoneros fans await with anticipation the outcome of this situation, trusting that the final decision will be the best for the team and for Correa’s future.

Cuti Romero: A Colchonero Dream Revived?

Atlético de Madrid is once again keeping an eye on Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero, the Argentine centre-back from Tottenham. The 26-year-old player, a long-time target at the Metropolitano, may be looking for new horizons, and Atlético fits perfectly into his plans.

While there are no formal negotiations underway, the possibility of his arrival generates excitement among Colchonero fans. Romero, currently under contract with Tottenham until 2027, has had a season marked by injuries, playing only 14 Premier League games.

This situation could open a window of opportunity for Atlético, who are looking to strengthen their defence for the next season. Before making a move for Romero, the Rojiblanco club must resolve some internal situations.

Azpilicueta and Witsel are expected to leave the team, and Lenglet will return to Barcelona after his loan spell. However, there are talks to try to retain Lenglet on a permanent basis, although his continuity depends on various factors.

Despite the interest in Romero, Atlético prioritizes other signings before investing heavily in a centre-back. Alex Baena is emerging as the main target for next season. However, the Colchonero board will be watching Romero’s evolution closely, in case a market opportunity arises that they cannot pass up. The possible arrival of the Argentine would undoubtedly strengthen the team’s competitiveness and increase the quality of the squad.
