Felipe, the silent return

Little by little, without making a lot of noise, Felipe has been installed again in the eleven of Atlético. The Brazilian had a disappointing start to the season, especially after learning about his extraordinary performance last year, at least until confinement. This year it has cost him, but the central He has once again left signs of his solidity in the area, he has once again been that magnet of balls centered by the rival and everything indicates that, among the rewards, he will be in the initial team of Valladolid in the final round of the League.

In his first season, as soon as he got hold of the site, he didn't release it until the break; in this one, it was a Unrecognizable Felipe. The braking last spring hurt him a lot and the start of this season was also difficult. Some rude individual failures and their difficult adaptation to the defense of three (sometimes the second led to the first) they relegated him to being the central room. Savic has been indisputable from start to finish, Gimenez has had a complicated course due to injuries and Handsome has been uncovered as a great solution to start the game from the left. Philip it was left as a reserve.

Giménez's absences They have made it easier for him to return to the team and Felipe has been improving during this second round. After some episodes in which he touched the expulsion, with too many yellows in the first parts, he has been reunited with the desired version. He has completed the last three games, playing at a good level and helping the team to attack. against Barça, Real Sociedad and Osasuna. Felipe is not afraid of leaving the area.

In the end, despite the vitola of ‘central quarter’, Felipe He is now the tenth footballer in the squad with the most minutes, 2,523, to which possibly 90 more will be added. It also plays in his favor that he has not suffered any injury. Giménez has stayed at 2,025. Both will form in Zorrilla, as Savic, another of the leader's pillars, will have to stay in the stands due to suspension. A great brooch – which can be even better – to a season from less to more for a defense more than solvent.
