He Cholo Simeone faces an unexpected problem: the recovery of Marcos Llorente creates a dilemma because it comes at the best time of the two players who occupy the right wing, the Argentines Nahuel Molina And Giuliano Simeone. The coach is looking for the formula for meInclude all three in the same eleven, but it’s not easy. At the end Marcos Llorente He could end up as a pivot or as an accompanying forward Julian Alvarez.
The Madrilenian’s injury during the Champions League match against Benfica forced Simeone to look for alternatives and he struggled to find them. Until in the end the solution could not be more domestic: it was his son Giuliano who resolved the vote, even if to make room for him in the eleven he had to come out of the hat a new position for Nahuel Molinawho now adapts to the role of central defender in the defensive phase.
The movement could not have gone better: The Nahuel-Giuliano partnership played a key role in the team’s resurgence. Both contribute goals and assists and have become an irreplaceable couple who now want to join a third member, Marcos Llorente, who started the season like a cannon and who, under normal conditions, is indisputable for Cholo.
There are solutions, but none are perfect. Giuliano or Llorente can go to the other side, even if The experiment failed with Cholito in Vigo, where he played his worst match for Atlético this season. However, when he was on loan to Zaragoza, he played there relatively frequently and his performance was not bad.
Given the lack of troops in midfield, it is very likely that Simeone brings back Marcos Llorente as center. In fact, this is the position for which Atlético recruited him after his great season at Alavés, although later circumstances led him to other positions, such as striker, which is another option because he could be the companion of Julián Álvarez who would replace him. Griezmann towards a further back part of the field.
Whatever the next match Against Alavés, all three will already be at the coach’s disposal. Will everyone play at the start? Given what Cholo usually does in the days following international matches, it is Nahuel Molina, who will have played with Argentina, who will be rested. However, despite everything, he may want to continue maintaining the pairing that has given him such good results and move Llorente to other positions. This will be one of the big questions that will be clarified when the programming is made public.
