Atlético, under scrutiny at the Sánchez-Pizjuán
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a crucial duel against Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. The team arrives at this match with morale bruised after being eliminated from the Copa del Rey, but with the firm intention of recovering and demonstrating their strength.
Sevilla, on the other hand, also faces the match after a negative streak, including a defeat in the Seville derby. Xavi García Pimienta, Sevilla’s coach, only has the confirmed absence of Tanguy Nianzou.
However, he recovers important players such as Djibril Sow and Lucien Agoumé, who missed the derby due to suspension, thus strengthening the Sevillian midfield. Agoumé’s presence in Thursday’s training session, after being absent on Wednesday for personal reasons, is good news for the home team.
Atlético, led by Diego Simeone, will seek to exploit Sevilla’s possible weaknesses to impose their game and add three vital points in their fight for the season’s objectives.
Despite the emotional blow suffered, the Rojiblanco team is confident in their ability to react and in the talent of their players to overcome this challenge. The match is presented as an opportunity to demonstrate the grit and fighting spirit that characterize Atlético de Madrid.
