Atlético: Strategic Rotations Against Athletic
Atlético de Madrid, under Simeone’s leadership, is preparing for a crucial clash against Athletic Club. After a demanding schedule and the recent match against Barcelona, Cholo seeks to refresh the team without sacrificing competitiveness.
The goal is clear: to arrive in optimal condition for a duel that could be decisive in the fight for the top spots. Simeone has been carefully managing player recoveries, aware of the importance of keeping the squad fresh and motivated.
In training, possible rotations in the starting eleven were observed, with notable absences such as Koke and Azpilicueta working apart from the group.
The Argentine coach tested a scheme that includes Oblak in goal; Nahuel, Le Normand, Lenglet, and Galán in defense; Giuliano, Llorente, Barrios, and Lino in midfield; and a forward duo formed by Sorloth and Griezmann.
These tactical modifications seek to maximize the team’s performance and give opportunities to players who have proven to be ready to assume responsibilities. The match at the Metropolitano presents a golden opportunity to consolidate Atlético’s position in the table and demonstrate their ambition this season.
