Sorloth: The Atlético de Madrid bench hero
Norwegian striker Alexander Sorloth has become a hero for Atlético de Madrid in recent weeks, scoring five goals in the last ten games, all coming off the bench.
Sorloth has understood Diego Simeone’s message about the importance of the bench for the team’s good functioning and has responded with crucial goals against Barcelona, Getafe, Alavés and an assist in San Mamés. The coach has highlighted a decisive conversation with the player to reach this situation and has made it clear that he would like to play Sorloth, Griezmann and Julián together, but that the blanket is already starting to be thinner.
