Sorloth: Goalscoring Explosion and Room for Improvement at Atleti
Alexander Sorloth has earned an important place in Atlético de Madrid, even surpassing Griezmann in Simeone’s decisions. The Norwegian striker, known for his goalscoring ability off the bench, is proving that he can be much more than a game-changer.
His numbers speak for themselves, already surpassing Griezmann’s goals and showing great efficiency in terms of minutes played and goals scored. However, not everything is perfect. While Sorloth is making the most of his opportunities, he needs to improve his effectiveness in front of goal.
Despite generating numerous dangerous chances, his shooting accuracy is lower than it was at Villarreal. The match against Rayo Vallecano was a clear example: he scored a goal, but could have scored several more.
This situation is reminiscent of what happened with other Atleti forwards, such as Morata, and could generate an unnecessary debate. Although his ’expected goals’ are lower than the actual ones, Sorloth is already proving his worth.
The challenge now is to maintain this level and improve his effectiveness to become an undisputed reference in the rojiblanco attack. With his power and goalscoring instinct, Sorloth has everything to succeed at the Metropolitano and continue celebrating important goals with the colchonera fans.
