Atlético: Iron Defense and Golden Bench
Atlético de Madrid continues to demonstrate its solidity and ambition, building its triumphs on an unbreakable defense and a bench that provides decisive solutions. Against Athletic, the team once again kept a clean sheet, adding up to 13 games without conceding in La Liga, a figure only equaled by Juventus in Europe.
This defensive solidity is one of the hallmarks of the team. But it’s not just the defense that shines, the Rojiblanco bench has become a lethal weapon. Substitutes have scored 16 goals and provided 14 assists in La Liga, far surpassing other major European teams.
Players like Llorente and Julián prove that the B unit is fundamental for Cholo Simeone. Names like Sorloth and Correa stand out for their scoring ability coming off the bench, and Julián, a regular in the starting eleven, also knows how to contribute from the bench.
The Argentine coach celebrates this potential, recognizing the importance of having refreshing players who make a difference. Atlético continues to add up thanks to its balance between defense and attack. With six minimal victories in La Liga, the team demonstrates its ability to solve tight matches.
Julián’s effectiveness as a match opener is undeniable, leading the statistic of goals that break the initial tie. Atlético faces the decisive phase of the season with high morale and the certainty that its plans, like Hannibal’s, usually work out well.
