The height problem of Atlético de Madrid
The streak of 15 consecutive victories of Atlético de Madrid came to an end in Butarque, where the team lost the first position in the League. Nastasic’s goal was impossible to turn around for the red-and-whites, who had enough opportunities to take the lead.
The difference in height between the players was decisive, with Barrios being the third tallest field player in the team. Sorloth’s absence was noticeable in both areas, as the Norwegian is the tallest field player in the League and an important asset in his own field. Simeone is working on his imagination to try to solve the height problem and recovers Giménez, a real wall. Against Leverkusen it will be an aerial test for the mattress team.
