Correa is experiencing an eclipse at Atlético. The Argentine has lost prominence since the arrival of Griezmann and even more so with the step forward that João Félix has taken. The 10th was the footballer who pulled the rojiblanco car at the start of the season, but now the focus is not pointing to him, used as always to row against the current. Simeone is aware that Correa deserves more and will give him his moment. So think about him for this Sunday and if not, against Levante.
The last two Atleti appointments have been two blows to the forward’s confidence. Correa was a substitute against Barça, before the break, and against Liverpool, on the return. He played 18 minutes against those of Koeman, already with the game resolved, and 10 in the Champions League, in search of a tie. This Tuesday, in fact, he did have a good chance to score. But it does seem confirmed that in the ranks it is already behind Suárez, João and Griezmann.
In addition, Correa continues with his bad streak since the end of August. After his double against Celta and also getting the winning goal over Elche, the international he has not scored again and has not given an assist since August 29. Simeone knows that he is a great agitator, but that, in addition, he also gives him good performance as a starter, he is no longer just a revulsive.
With a wait for your chance
Cholo wants to have everyone plugged in. João is fine and the double against Liverpool will spur Griezmann. Now he needs to lift Correa and think of him to rotate in attack, because the calendar is compressed and there will be movements in the team to avoid injuries and have freshness. Simeone has not forgotten the Angel who added so much to the conquest of the League. Even Cunha will enter the wheel. There will be quality minutes for everyone.
