Atlético: Ready for Battle at Mestalla
A demanding cycle kicks off for our Atleti! The next 40 days will be crucial, and the first challenge is this afternoon at Mestalla against Valencia.
Despite the significant absences of Pablo Barrios (suspension) and Koke (injury) in midfield, El Cholo has the solution! Marcos Llorente, a luxurious utility player, will return to midfield alongside De Paul.
Simeone trusts his versatility and experience in that position, as he has demonstrated throughout his career. The goal, as always, will be well guarded by Oblak. In defense, Nahuel will occupy the right side, Azpilicueta the left, Le Normand and Lenglet consolidate as central partners.
In the double pivot, the energy of Llorente and the vision of De Paul will be key. The wings will be energized by Giuliano Simeone and Samuel Lino, bringing freshness and overflow. Upfront, Griezmann will accompany Julián Álvarez, an indispensable player in El Cholo’s scheme. The team is ready to face this challenge with grit and heart! We trust in the mister’s strategy and the talent of our players to add three vital points in our fight for our objectives. Aúpa Atleti!
