Musso: Simeone's unwavering confidence

Atlético de Madrid is preparing to face a crucial challenge, and all eyes are on the goal. After the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against FC Barcelona, where the team conceded four goals in a short period, a debate arose about who should occupy the goal: Juan Musso or Jan Oblak?.

However, Diego Pablo Simeone seems to have a clear decision. Despite the tough defeat at Montjuïc, the Colchoneros coach maintains a solid faith in Musso. Until that match, the Argentinian goalkeeper had been a wall, holding the title of ‘Zamora’ of the Copa del Rey thanks to his solid performances.

Before the thrashing, Musso had only conceded one goal in six matches, demonstrating his worth under the three sticks. The coaching staff’s confidence in Musso is based on concrete data. Saving the unfortunate match in Barcelona, the goalkeeper has offered an image of security and sobriety.

In addition, it is remembered that Oblak also conceded four goals in a similar span during a LaLiga match at the Metropolitano. Therefore, everything points to Simeone continuing to bet on Musso, backing his career and trusting his ability to protect the Rojiblanca goal. The Cholo’s decision sends a message of support and reinforces the team’s morale in the face of upcoming challenges.

'Cuti' Romero, next star reinforcement for Atleti?

Atlético de Madrid is already planning for next season and, among its priorities, is the reinforcement of the defense with a world champion: Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero, Tottenham center-back.

Although the operation is not easy, the interest of the Colchoneros club is evident and the possible influence of Diego Simeone could be decisive, as it was in the signing of Julián Álvarez.

According to recent reports, the player and the Argentine coach have held conversations, which represents a significant advance for Atleti. However, the main obstacle lies in the high transfer price set by Tottenham, estimated at 80 million euros.

Despite this significant economic barrier, both Romero and his representative would be willing to facilitate the negotiation, which opens a door of hope for the Rojiblancos fans. With a contract until 2027 and a market value of 55 million euros, ‘Cuti’ Romero is emerging as an ambitious target for Atleti, who trusts in Simeone’s persuasive ability and the player’s willingness to finalize his arrival at the Metropolitano.

Atlético: Simeone surprises with possible lineup for the Cup

Atlético de Madrid is already focused on the crucial second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals. The ‘Rojiblancos’, with the ambition of winning a title this season, are preparing intensely under the watchful eye of Diego Pablo Simeone.

In Monday’s training session, ‘Cholo’ outlined a possible starting eleven, introducing changes that could give a twist to the usual scheme. Simeone tested various formations, and although the final line-up is still up in the air, important changes are looming.

Players like Nahuel Molina, Javi Galán and Conor Gallagher may have the opportunity to jump on the field as starters, bringing freshness and new options to the team.

In the tactical rehearsal, Musso could be seen defending the goal; a defensive line with Nahuel Molina, Giménez, Lenglet and Javi Galán; a dynamic midfield with Marcos Llorente, De Paul, Gallagher and Giuliano; and a promising forward line with Julián Álvarez and Griezmann.

This formation, although subject to modifications, suggests a commitment to renewal and the search for new synergies on the field. If this eleven is confirmed, key figures such as Pablo Barrios, César Azpilicueta, Reinildo Mandava and Samuel Lino would start the match from the bench. The inclusion of Giuliano as a left inside reveals Simeone’s intention to experiment with different roles and strategies, seeking the ideal formula to overcome the opponent and advance in the Cup.

Joao Félix: A fleeting spell in Milan

Joao Félix’s arrival in Milan generated great excitement, boosted by his promising debut in the Italian Cup with a key goal. However, his initial impact quickly faded, despite the confidence placed in him by coach Sergio Conceicao, who gave him important starts, including Champions League matches.

Despite this, his performance declined, failing to contribute goals, assists, or generate clear chances. Milan’s inconsistency led to tactical adjustments, affecting Félix’s continuity in the starting eleven.

Despite receiving minutes from the bench, he failed to recover his best form, which raised questions about his selection over other teammates. After a promising start, almost two months have passed without Joao Félix contributing goals or assists, missing what seemed like a great opportunity to relaunch his career.

His future at Milan seems uncertain, with his possible return to Chelsea on the horizon. The Rossoneri club is currently in a complicated situation in Serie A, struggling to reach European places. The Italian Cup, where they will face Inter in the semifinals, represents a crucial opportunity to secure a place in the Europa League.

Atlético Under the Microscope: Moyá's View

Miguel Ángel Moyá, former goalkeeper of Atlético de Madrid, has analyzed the team’s recent performance on ‘Deporte Plus’, offering an insider’s perspective on the challenges facing the Rojiblancos.

Moyá, with his deep knowledge of the club, highlights how certain key moments have impacted the team’s confidence. The former player points to the Champions League elimination, the painful comeback by Getafe, and the defeat against Barça at the Metropolitano, despite leading 2-0, as negative turning points.

For Moyá, these episodes created a feeling of lost opportunity in LaLiga. Moyá also highlights Atlético’s fatigue in the recent league matches. Despite dominating the game and generating scoring chances, the team has failed to maintain leads, ending in unexpected draws or defeats.

This trend has distanced Atlético from the title race. Moyá’s analysis shows that the team is experiencing difficulties that were not present before. While Atlético shows progress in game dominance, ball distribution, and the diversity of scorers, these recent problems could cost them dearly in the final stretch of the season, as Simeone had anticipated.
