Marcos Llorente placeholder image Y Koke Resurrection, the two players of the Atlético de Madrid in the Spanish team, they started in the draw against Sweden (0-0) in Seville, in a match in which the Luis Enrique they only lacked the goal.
It was not surprising that Llorente was chosen to occupy the right side, because the selector had already been warning of this to have of what was seen in training and meetings. It is not his best position and there he loses the ability he has to break with his speed behind the back of the defense, but the Madrilenian had a good performance.
Critics agree that in this demarcation much of its potential is lost. Something that not only stands out in Spain. In Italy, for example, they emphasize this from one of the most important sports media in the country, La Gazzetta dello Sport. “It seems an absolute waste to sacrifice him as a right back. Very powerful and prodigious at the time of covering his occupying his band ”, was the assessment of the match made by the mattress midfielder.
In what most of the analysis also coincide is to highlight the good performance that he signed Koke. As an interior, the Atlético captain had a lot of prominence with the ball, giving meaning to the offensive game of the national team. He had a lot of arrival, with several forays into the area and a couple of opportunities in which he touched the goal. And on a defensive level, as always, impeccable, running many kilometers. He was substituted in the final stretch of the crash.
It seems that of course the two mattress footballers enter, and fully, in the plans of Luis Enrique for this Eurocup. Something deserved taking into account the performance they have achieved in this course with the league champion, Atlético de Madrid.
