Mario Suárez Analyzes Atleti: Prudence in Copa and Future Leadership
Mario Suárez, former Atlético de Madrid player, has offered his vision on the current situation of the Rojiblancos. In recent statements, Suárez anticipated a cautious approach by Simeone in the Copa del Rey match against Barcelona.
According to the former Colchonero, Cholo will seek to secure a result that allows Atlético to have options in the return leg at the Metropolitano, avoiding an excessively offensive approach from the start.
Furthermore, Suárez praised Julián Álvarez’s performance and adaptation to Atlético’s system. He highlighted his commitment both with and without the ball, considering him an ideal player for Cholo Simeone’s style of play and foreseeing a promising future as a leader of the team.
Regarding refereeing, Suárez expressed his opinion on VAR, pointing out that, while he does not doubt the honesty of the referees, he believes that the tool is not being used in the most effective way and, at times, does not provide clarity in decisions. Finally, he also had words of admiration for Luka Modric, highlighting his professionalism and the values he transmits.
