With one, surprise factor

Al Atlético the problems regarding casualties. Simeone’s team pierde to João Félix for the league match against Osasuna and it is a serious doubt for Wednesday’s Champions League clash. And Griezmann neither may be at the European meeting against Milan. They are two decisive players in the attack part, although the rojiblanco team also has a wardrobe in the offensive variant. And one of the players who can step up in these next matches it is Matheus Cunha, the Brazilian tip.

At 22 years old and with a contract in force until 2026, was chosen to reinforce Atlético’s attack. The impossibility of getting hold of Vlahovic it was finally the Brazilian who landed in the Madrid team. He signed for Atlético knowing that it is difficult for him to play because Luis Suárez is one of the fixtures … if he is fit. But he didn’t care. Its price, around 30 million euros.

Cunha he has barely had minutes in the rojiblanco team. 137 minutes in eight league games, in which you have marked a goal, against Levante, I find that in the end it ended in a draw for the penalty that the referee Gonzalez Fuentes pointed by the hands of Lodi. But the striker has shown signs that he can play an important role within the team. Still has not been a starter in no game, but Cholo knows that he can be the trigger the team needs, now that there are important absences due to injuries and sanctions.

Arrive in high spirits after being classified with Brazil for the next World Cup. In Majadahonda he works with humility waiting for him to start and more goals arrive. The calendar does not give Atlético a break. In a month he will have to play eight games (six in LaLiga and two in Champions) and Simeone will need to rotate the team. AND Cunha may be the factor surprise from Atlético.
