Atlético: The Strength of a Plugged-In Squad
Atlético de Madrid is demonstrating enviable strength thanks to the depth of its squad. Simeone has highlighted the attitude and commitment of all his players, both starters and substitutes, recognizing that internal competition is vital to compete in all competitions.
Players like De Paul, Griezmann, and Barrios are fundamental, but the contribution of players coming off the bench is proving decisive. Sorloth’s and Correa’s goals are a clear example of how substitutes maintain the level and intensity until the end, already adding 16 goals from this source.
Atlético stretches the games, wearing down rivals like Barcelona, Getafe, Leverkusen, or Athletic. Simeone values his players’ ability to maintain concentration throughout the match, highlighting the importance of humility and constant work. The involvement of all squad members is evident, with only three outfield players having played less than a thousand official minutes, reflecting the commitment and competitiveness that reigns in the Rojiblancos’ dressing room.
