Simeone recovers South American players but maintains the 'break team'
Atlético de Madrid completed the penultimate training session before receiving Deportivo Alavés at the Metropolitano. Diego Simeone recovered the South American internationals (Giménez, De Paul, Giuliano and Julián Alvarez) but not the African, Reinildo Mandava.
Despite having these players, Cholo did not include them in the eleven he tried. Thus, with Oblak as the only ‘selected’ player present in the team besides Pablo Barrios, Simeone tried with Llorente, Azpilicueta, Witsel, Lenglet and Javi Galán in defense, although the Madrid player acted as a winger in attack.
The double pivot will be for Koke and Barrios, with Samu Lino on the left. And up front, Griezmann and Correa, with the Frenchman acting as a link to launch the wings and connect with Angelito, who would have a chance from the start after the ‘saving’ goals he has scored this season. Atlético will complete the last session before the game against Alavés on Friday, in which Simeone could confirm this eleven or introduce some novelty. Afterwards, the coach will appear before the media.
