Sorloth: A Decisive Revulsive for Atlético
Alexander Sorloth returns to Atlético de Madrid after showcasing his goal-scoring prowess with the Norwegian national team. The forward, aware of his role in the team, has proven to be a luxury revulsive, contributing important goals despite not having all the minutes he would like.
In his first season as a Colchonero, the Norwegian giant has already scored fifteen goals in 1565 minutes, confirming that quality prevails over quantity. Sorloth arrives after scoring in the last two matches with his national team, forming a fearsome duo alongside Haaland.
His goals against Moldova and Israel add to a total of 23 goals and 10 assists in 63 international matches. This positive streak boosts his return to Atlético, where he will seek to continue competing for a place in the Rojiblanco attack.
The Norwegian forward feels comfortable in his role as a revulsive. ‘Being a good substitute is one of the most difficult things in football… Now I’m completely focused. I play in a team that fights for titles. So I have to be mentally prepared.
Whenever I enter the field, I am dangerous,’ he told FIFA.com. With high morale after his outstanding performance with Norway and the confidence that Simeone has placed in him, Sorloth returns to the Metropolitano ready to face the final stretch of the season. His ability to make a difference in key moments could be fundamental for Atlético in the fight for the team’s objectives.
