Samu Lino: The Reinvention of a Key Striker
Atlético de Madrid continues to rack up victories, and in the match against Mallorca, Samu Lino stood out as one of the key highlights. The Brazilian winger opened the scoring in the 16th minute with a cross-shot after a play involving Giuliano and Le Normand.
This isn’t Lino’s only contribution, as he also assisted Griezmann in the match against Salzburg. Although he didn’t start the season in the best way, even losing his starting position, in recent weeks he has shown significant improvement.
Lino now faces matches with more determination, has a greater presence in the box, and is more decisive in front of goal. ‘I’ve always been working, but sometimes things don’t go well. Things are working out now, and I appreciate the fans’ affection,’ said the player.
This improvement is crucial for the team, which has also recovered Le Normand from injury and seen Molina raise his level. With these reinforcements, Atlético is preparing to face an important stretch of the season, including the chance to reach the Copa del Rey semifinals and regain leadership.
