Cholo Experiments: Possible Lineup Surprises in Training
Atlético de Madrid doesn’t rest even during the international break. Diego Simeone, always innovative, took advantage of the absence of several internationals to practice with an alternative eleven on the training ground.
The Rojiblancos, with their sights set on upcoming challenges, are preparing intensely. In a session where activation and small-sided games were the protagonists, Cholo surprised by outlining a possible lineup that, while far from being the definitive one for the next match, revealed some interesting ideas.
Names like Marcos Llorente, Lenglet, Galán, Barrios and the tireless Griezmann led the group, demonstrating their commitment and professionalism. The defense, formed by Llorente, Azpilicueta, Witsel, Lenglet and Galán, showed solidity and versatility.
In midfield, Gallagher, Barrios and Lino brought dynamism and creativity. The Griezmann-Riquelme duo in attack promises to be explosive. The inclusion of Gallagher in a position further to the right could indicate that Simeone is looking for new formulas to strengthen the midfield.
The presence of Riquelme as a forward, meanwhile, suggests that the Argentine coach is preparing him as a replacement for Correa. With Musso and Gomis working hard under the orders of Pablo Vercellone, the team is preparing to face the challenges ahead with maximum ambition. Come on, Atleti!
