Ángel Correa (25 years old) not a striker of a lifetime. Rosario is the prototype player that coaches like, since can play in different positions. It can be a killer, prepared to take advantage of the balls that come to him, but what has allowed him settle on Simeone's plans It is his ability to play in band and as a second striker. That makes his goalscoring figures not very striking, but that contribution in other aspects, such as assists.
And is that, in the absence of two games for LaLiga to conclude (plus those played by the rojiblanco club in the Champions League) Correa is the maximum assistant of the rojiblanca squad with eight goal passes to his teammates, beating Koke's six. In total, there are seven in the domestic competition and one in the Super Cup held in Arabia. As a curiosity, note that, today, add more assists than goals (five), which confirms that we are facing a new generation striker, who look beyond their statistics and seek the good of the group.
However, despite being the player who has helped his partners the most this season to score goals, the number of assists he has accumulated it is not the highest he has achieved since he is under Cholo's command (The 2015/16 academic year is the first in which he played matches with Atlético after his heart surgery). That first season he managed to give four goal passes (all of them in the national championship). 2016/17 was the most fruitful in this facet, as reached his personal record with 11, divided into eight in the LaLiga and three in the Copa del Rey. The following course (2017/18) he provided nine goals to his teammates, giving four final passes in the domestic championship, three in the Europa League and one in the Champions League and in the Copa del Rey. Finally, last year he lowered his contribution, since he only gave four assists (two in LaLiga, one in the Champions League and one in the European Super Cup).
