Giménez has once again had minutes with Atlético wanting to be the protagonist. The Uruguayan had not been able to start the season with his teammates after contracting the coronavirus. Later, one time it tested negative and was able to start exercising, suffered some muscular discomfort that had him out of the calls until the game against Betis.
After not having minutes against the Verdiblancos and Salzburg, in El Sadar, Giménez returned to the eleven at a very good level. Strong on top, quick to cover and safe with the ball, last weekend he had his first 90 minutes of the course. Against Lokomotiv, he would be back in the game and open the scoring with a great header after a precise cross from Herrera. An unmarking to the center forward space and the good head looking for the stick for a goal that finally did not serve to win despite the good game of the team. The Uruguayan has a fantastic aerial game, but could not find a goal from February 20, 2019, when, curiously with his foot, he took advantage of a rebound in the area to score against Juventus.
With Giménez, There are already eight different scorers for Atlético so far this year (João Félix leads the table with five). From January 4, with Felipe's goal against Levante also from a good header, no defender had seen the door again. Last season the mattress defense had only four goals. The Brazilian finished with two, Savic with one against Juventus and Lodi with his debut as rojiblanco against Granada. For Simeone it is essential that goals come from all lines and that the defense adds it is fantastic news.
