Correa: Revitalizing Atlético from the Wing
Ángel Correa is experiencing a new and stellar role at Atlético de Madrid. Despite being a regular substitute, his entry onto the field always injects energy and courage into the team, as seen in the last match.
Simeone has found Correa to be a key piece, placing him as a right midfielder, a different position from the forward where he used to play. This new role allows him to connect with the attack and become a play initiator.
Although he was not lucky in front of goal in his last match, Correa assumed the responsibility of retaining the ball and allowing the team to get out of their own half. Critics have recognized his value as a catalyst, highlighting how his minutes are golden for Atlético.
Furthermore, Correa reached the impressive figure of 456 matches with the rojiblanca shirt, equaling Carlos Aguilera in sixth place in the ranking of players with the most matches in the club’s history. Now, he aims to surpass legends such as Koke, Adelardo, Tomás, Oblak and Collar.
The Metropolitano chants his name, recognizing his dedication and unconditional commitment to the badge. Correa, a player who has won the hearts of the fans through effort and talent, continues to prove that he is a fundamental piece in Cholo’s scheme.
