Sorloth: The '9' Who Delivers at Atlético
In the search for a center forward, Atlético considered Artem Dovbyk and Alexander Sorloth. After Dovbyk’s arrival in the capital did not materialize, the club opted for Sorloth, who has become a key piece off the bench.
The Norwegian has proven to be a luxury substitute, scoring important goals and offering outstanding performance in the minutes he plays. Sorloth has scored a significant amount of goals coming off the bench, surpassing Dovbyk’s numbers in terms of goals per minutes played.
In addition, the Atlético forward generates more danger, makes more key passes, recovers more balls in the opponent’s area, and draws more fouls. His ability to unlock matches and his effectiveness as a substitute have made him a valuable player for the team.
Sorloth’s performance has dispelled any doubts about the decision to sign him instead of Dovbyk. His dedication, his nose for goal, and his ability to take advantage of every opportunity have established him as an important player in Cholo’s scheme. Undoubtedly, Sorloth is proving that Atlético was right to bet on him, contributing goals and energy from the bench, which is essential to continue fighting for the season’s objectives. His recent goal during the international break is another sign of his great form.
