Diego Costa, before his new role

The
Atlético de Madrid
beat this past Saturday FC Barcelona, in a great game that served to further extend the streak of matches without losing in The league, which carries the mattress team.

Among the many good news that occurred, at a time like the present, in which the rojiblanco team is in its best place, with game, goals and results, that Simeone recovered one more cash.

Diego Costa He returned to have minutes with him
Atlético de Madrid
after he was injured in the fourth game of the season, against Celta de Vigo. One more 'soldier' ​​for Simeone at a time like today, when you will not be able to Luis
Suarez, at least in this Wednesday's game against the Lokomotiv of Moscow (it was also low before Barça), because he has coronavirus.

Waiting for what happens with the Uruguayan, who will resume his predominant role in the rojiblanca forward, because around him this new Athletic more offensive and attacking, the big question that now needs to be resolved is what will be the role of Coast in this new Athletic.

It is an option to start from the beginning before the Lokomotivbut when i come back Luis Suarez, we will have to see what happens because we already say that the Athletic he has found a very stable and successful drawing and style with him outside of team dynamics. With Coast it is played deeper, with Suárez, closer to the area and with more teammates who are close and come to attack. The second formula is the one that has given the most profits so far.

The truth is that the forward's absence coincided with the best streak of play and results. Simeone He already confirmed in the first part of the season that both forwards could coincide on the field. They did it only in one match, against Celtic, which is when he was injured Coast. But can it match Llorente Y Joao
Felix? The four of them together have not. And there has been no trident with Joao Felix and the Uruguayan.

That is, it seems difficult to think that Simeone go to modify a lot what is working so well. More seems that the ‘Pantera’ will be a player who is not always a starter, being a replacement like the other day before him Barça to try to kill the party; or a starter in certain games in which the Cholo need something different from what is working now.

YOUR RETURN MATCH

The mattress striker, who joined the work with the rest of his teammates, just a few days ago, jumped onto the pitch at 71 minutes, replacing one of those who were being more prominent, Marcos Llorente.

The forward reappeared after his recent muscle injury that has kept him out of six games. The player, who was injured before Celtic On October 17, he missed appointments before Bayern, Betis, Salzburg, Osasuna, Lokomotiv and Cádiz.

He went out mainly so that the companions could look for him long, also because the Barça I was more overturned. So much Joao Fel
ix as Koke They looked for him on several occasions to launch his career, but he lacked a point of speed.

The truth is that it shows that he will still have to pick up a competitive pace but he leaned in. He touched the ball 28 times, gave 21 passes, of which 16 reached their destination and lost a ball. He had two aerial balls and took one in contention. His most dangerous action was the one he had at the end, with an intermission in the area in which he finally gave a pass that did not find a partner.
