Atlético will have two left backs from the start of next season. The only position that was not doubled and that only had a Renan Lodi that since his arrival has not stopped growing, becoming the fourth player in the world most valuable in that position (50 million), but that needs a competition beyond the patches that supposed Saúl and Mario Hermoso at the beginning of the course.
But the rojiblanco club knows that they have the remedy at home. Well with Manu Sánchez, who at 19 has made a great job during the break, starting in three of the eleven games that served those of Simeone to qualify for the next Champions or with Caio Henrique. The Brazilian was on loan to the Guild until the end of the year, but Atlético decided to break the loan to have him in Madrid, where he hopes to earn a place in the team next season.
Caio Henrique came out of the rojiblanca quarry in 2018 and is celebrating today. He turns 23 years old and next week he will be under the command of Simeone after going through a quarantine process after arriving from Brazil and exercising alone, since it has not been competing since March 13, before the world coronavirus pandemic stopped the competition. Of course, you can not be registered to play the present Champions that will end in Lisbon. With the Spanish passport in hand, he no longer has the handicap of occupying a post as a non-EU member and he opposes a post in the mattress defense next year.
Caio Henrique has been in Madrid since July 1, when he attended AS just landed, noting that Atleti's call “It is a great joy because I have worked a lot, hard, very hard, in Brazil for two years. I had to have minutes, I had them, I did a good job and for us, those of us who have a contract with the club, to call us is a great joy. “The player is clear that to stay”I have to train very hard to make a place for myself in the squad. I was away two years and it is a great joy to return to this city, to this club that has given me the opportunity to debut (against Guijuelo, in the Cup, in 2016) in the first team. It's a very special moment”.
Despite the fact that his arrival at Atleti B occurred as a midfielder with a great future, since before leaving the club he adapted to the left-back, until exploding on loan on the Fluminense. Caio Henrique was established as Brazil's starting winger to qualify for the Olympics (Lodi did not attend the appointment because he was concentrated with Atlético) and stands out for his ability to get the ball played from the post and join the attack in a very intelligent way. Atlético have three left wingers with a great future, with Lodi as indisputable but with Caio and Manu knocking on the doors of the first team. Simeone will have to decide who he stays with next season, aware that he has a lot of talent in his ranks.
