Sorloth: Atlético's Golden Substitute
Alexander Sorloth has become a key player in Cholo Simeone’s scheme, standing out as a luxury substitute. The Norwegian striker, with 16 goals this season, has broken records by scoring 11 goals coming off the bench, nine of them in La Liga, surpassing historical marks.
His ability to change matches and bring freshness to the Rojiblancos’ attack is undeniable. Despite not being an undisputed starter, Sorloth has proven his worth and goal-scoring instinct, generating internal competition and raising the team’s level.
Sorloth has equaled Griezmann’s goal tally, albeit with far fewer minutes played, highlighting his efficiency and lethality in front of the rival goal.
While Griezmann, a fundamental pillar in Simeone’s scheme, has seen his performance slightly affected, Sorloth emerges as a real and effective alternative, generating a debate about who should accompany Julián in the attack.
Although Simeone values Griezmann’s experience and game, Sorloth’s push is undeniable. The Norwegian arrived at Atlético to be a key player, and he is achieving it with flying colors, establishing himself as a valuable asset for the team. His impact from the bench and his goal-scoring ability make him an important asset for Atlético in the pursuit of their objectives.
