Kondogbia, eventual central

Kondogbia played as a center-back for many minutes of the second half against Feyenoord and it is one of the lessons that the clash against the Dutch team left behind. Simeone has the team with many casualties and Kondogbia may be an option in defense for the Argentine coach for future commitments. Cholo has Felipe, Savic, Giménez and Hermoso as centrals and wants another player for the center of the rear, especially because his idea is to continue playing with a defense of three centrals and two lanes.

In the final stretch of the clash against Feyenoord, Atlético played with Arias and Manu Sánchez as lanes and with Vrsaljko, Kondogbia and Hermoso as centrals. Herrera and Javi Serrano played in the middle ahead of the rear.

It seems that Cholo could take advantage of Herrera's competitive moment, who ended up at Atlético after having played the Gold Cup with Mexico. Koke and De Paul they are little less than fixed in the center of the field and Herrera and Kondogbia compete for a position. Faced with emergencies or possible injuries to his teammates, Cholo has sought a new demarcation for Kondogbia.He has physique and can take the ball under control, something that is something extra for your technician.

At 28 years old, and with a contract with Atlético until 2024, Kondogbia knows that he is facing his great year at Atlético. He already knows the club and his teammates, he knows Cholo's way of playing and what he can contribute to the team. And although its natural place is the center of the field, it can also lend a hand in the back.
