Lino: A Rojiblanco Revulsive Seeks to Consolidate
Samuel Lino is shaping up as a starter in the upcoming match against Real Sociedad, looking to regain his best form and a leading role at Atlético de Madrid. His recent performance against Alavés, where he injected energy and flair into the team, has sparked the confidence of Cholo Simeone.
Despite having lost ground in the starting lineup to Gallagher, Lino is looking to seize this opportunity to prove his worth. His entry onto the field against Alavés revolutionized the Colchonero attack, becoming the player with the most chances created and completed dribbles.
This performance contrasts with a lackluster start to the match by the team, highlighting the Brazilian’s positive impact. Although his numbers this season are lower than last season’s, where he was a key player on the left flank after Carrasco’s departure, Lino remains an important player in the rotation.
His first goal as an Atlético player was precisely against Real Sociedad at the Metropolitano, a memory he hopes to repeat. With his sights set on the Club World Cup and an uncertain future due to interest from other clubs, Lino is motivated to regain his best level and demonstrate his importance to the Rojiblanco team.
The club values his performance, but is aware that his talent generates interest in the market. This match represents a crucial opportunity for Lino to reaffirm himself as a key player for Atlético.
