Sorloth and Correa: Luxury Revulsives
Alexander Sorloth and Ángel Correa have established themselves as key pieces in Atlético’s scheme, standing out for their effectiveness coming off the bench. Their numbers show that their impact on the game is often greater when they come on as revulsives, bringing freshness and imbalance at crucial moments.
Although it may be complex to assume a secondary role after being protagonists, good communication with Simeone and his coaching staff has been fundamental for Sorloth to understand the importance of his contribution to the team.
The Norwegian striker has proven to be a constant threat to rival defenses, with better goalscoring records when starting from the bench than when he is a starter. Correa, on the other hand, has also shown that his role as agitator is a treasure for the team.
His goals have mainly come after entering as a substitute, demonstrating his ability to change the course of matches. Despite having considered his departure in search of more minutes, the Argentine has been able to assume his role and make the most of the opportunities that arise.
El Cholo prefers to use both players as strategic substitutes rather than regular substitutes, seeking to exploit their potential at key moments of the match. Their ability to revitalize the attack and generate constant danger makes them valuable assets for Atlético.
