Riquelme and Lino seek their opportunity at Atlético de Madrid
Riquelme and Lino, two young talents of Atlético de Madrid, are looking for their space in the team after Simeone’s return to a four-man defense. The extremeño has become a key player in Simeone’s starting eleven, while Riquelme and Lino, who were starters last season, have seen their playing time reduced.
Riquelme has not been a starter for a month and in the League for two, while Lino has seen his protagonism come down compared to his great first season as a rojiblanco.
Both players have had difficulties in making the left wing their own, but no one doubts that they will play their role and their moment in the current campaign, where Atlético is very much alive in all competitions. The recipe for Riquelme and Lino is patience and work, finding their space and taking advantage of their moment.
