Atlético: Sorloth, Simeone's Surprise?
Atlético de Madrid is finalizing details for its next match, with Simeone fine-tuning the strategy in a waterlogged training session. The good news is the partial reincorporation of De Paul, who, although absent against Valladolid, is progressing in his recovery for future commitments.
El Cholo tested variants in the starting eleven, highlighting the inclusion of Sorloth in place of Griezmann during part of the training, hinting at the only doubt in the starting lineup.
Oblak is shaping up as the safe bet under the posts, backed by a defense made up of Marcos Llorente, Giménez, Lenglet, and Javi Galán. In midfield, Giuliano, Barrios, Koke, and Gallagher provide balance and creativity, while in attack, Julián Alvarez accompanies Griezmann or Sorloth, depending on Simeone’s final decision.
In addition to the already known absences of Lino and Correa, the absence of De Paul is added. Simeone has insisted on the importance of mobility and speed in the circulation of the ball, seeking to destabilize a rival who will predictably set up with a solid defense in the Metropolitano. The rojiblanco team faces the match with maximum respect towards Valladolid, aware of the need to add important points.
