He will return to work on September 3 to prepare for the season that is coming. With the end of the course as strange as the one it was experienced, there are many footballers who want revenge.
One of them is Felipe Augusto Monteiro. The Brazilian central defender was one of the signings that gave the best performance last season, perhaps the one with the most, but his final part of the season, in which he lost his place, leaves a trace of doubt in this statement.
Strange campaign for the South American who clearly started out as the fourth center-back but was not only the starter for much of the year but was the undisputed center-back for Simeone.
The center-back was indisputable since last October 6, when he tied a starting title that was his in each of the 28 following games with the sole exception of a loss due to accumulation of cards, against him Pomegranate, in the crash of Metropolitan.
Everything changed after the team returned after the break. The Brazilian central started disappearing from the tests of Simeone and they won the game Giménez and Savic. Just three games as a starter after returning to activity after the national team break.
For him it will be a new restart. And he will have to overcome an issue that has not gone unnoticed by the coaching staff. The rojiblancos officials esteem him very much but understand that it is a diesel.
“Felipe has a very special physique. Genetically it is something else. It costs him the adaptation. He is a physicist, who after confinement is struggling. I think he's going to adapt faster than the preseason was. He is an impressive footballer. When he entered his state of form … He has a neuromuscular capacity, traveling, a timekeeper … He is insurmountable from above, from below. He is a complete footballer. It is wonderful when you get into a state of form. Apart from the great nobility that he has, he is an excellent person. Inside the field, brave, in solidarity with his teammates … The group is won in a very easy way ”, explained about him the Prof
Ortega during the break.
