Atlético Fine-Tunes Preparation Against Athletic
Atlético de Madrid is preparing for a key duel against Athletic Club at the Metropolitano, a match that comes after a great effort in Barcelona. El Cholo Simeone, aware of the heavy workload of some key players, is considering making strategic rotations in the starting eleven to maintain the team’s freshness.
The test carried out by the coach shows significant changes. Oblak would remain in goal, with a defense that could include Molina, Le Normand, Lenglet, and Galán. In midfield, Barrios and Llorente seem fixed, possibly accompanied by Giuliano and Lino.
The attack would be led by Griezmann, with Sorloth adding offensive power. This lineup would give a break to players like Giménez, De Paul, and Julián Alvarez, who could be important game-changers in the second half.
Atlético’s objective is clear: to compete at their best this Saturday against Athletic and arrive in optimal condition for Tuesday’s clash against Real Madrid. Squad management is proving fundamental to face this demanding schedule. The match is presented as an opportunity to demonstrate the depth of the squad and the team’s ability to perform at the highest level in all competitions.
