Samu Lino: The Master of the Left Wing
Samu Lino has established himself as a starter at Atlético de Madrid, earning Simeone’s trust and the fans’ affection. The Brazilian has surpassed Conor Gallagher in the battle for the left side of midfield, starting in key matches such as Salzburg, Mallorca, Getafe, and Real Madrid.
His performance has been crucial for the team, showing remarkable improvement in the latter part of the season. Since his participation in the match against Villarreal, Lino has contributed three goals and one assist, in addition to provoking the penalty converted by Julián Alvarez in the derby.
His ability to unbalance and be decisive in the Rojiblanco attack has been key for Cholo, who values his growth and his impact on the team’s game. Although Simeone recognizes Gallagher’s qualities in recovery and balance, Lino’s sweet moment has made him the owner of the left wing.
With four goals and five assists this season, the Brazilian is approaching his numbers from the previous campaign, demonstrating his talent and commitment to Atlético de Madrid. The fans celebrate his explosion and trust that he will continue to be a decisive player in the team’s scheme at the Metropolitano.
