Galán: Resurgence on the left flank of Atleti
Javi Galán’s season at Atlético has been a real rollercoaster. After a difficult start, the extremeño full-back managed to carve out a place in Simeone’s plans, becoming an important player in the Rojiblanco scheme.
However, a match in the Champions League against Madrid marked a turning point, causing him to lose the place he had worked so hard to earn. After that match, the left lane of Atlético became a carousel of names, with Reinildo and even Azpilicueta occupying that position.
Despite this, Galán did not give up and continued working to regain the confidence of the Argentine coach. With the season reaching its final stretch, Atlético seeks to consolidate its position in the League and take advantage of any opportunity that arises.
In this context, Galán faces the challenge of becoming a fixture again at left-back. Simeone needs him and trusts his ability to close the wing and provide security to the team. His first big test will be against Valladolid, where he will seek to prove that he is ready to recover his best level.
His opportunity to consolidate is there, ahead of other players like Lino or Julián. The fans are confident that Galán can resurge and become a key piece in Cholo’s scheme for the remainder of the season.
