Liga Santander: The uncertainty of the second chapter of Carrasco | LaLiga Santander 2019

The Belgian midfielder is assigned until June and the Atletico can exercise the purchase option depending on its performance

There are two snapshots that Yannick Carrasco (Ixelles, Blgica, 1993) left recorded on the red and white retina during its first stage. The first, in 2016, that passionate kiss to his girlfriend, in the band of San Siro, just push with the soul a center of Juanfran and tie the Champions League final against Madrid. At his stride, dribbles and lungs, the Atlantic was seized that night that would end in a chase after the penalties.

The second, one year later, in October 2017, on the grassy lawn of Bak where the mood played Qarabag. Simeone claimed him for the bench, despite the helplessness of the Atlantic against a lower team. That afternoon (0-0), the rojiblancos began to dig their grave in the group stage of the Champions League and the Belgian, who left the field at a snail's pace and with a visible mosque, caused a fracture with that wardrobe and With the fans.

Two years ago (February 26), Yannick left China by surprise. The economic tightening of the Atlantic, to which the premature elimination of the Champions dull the accounts, and the sidereal salary that the Dalian Yifang, then driven by the millions of the Wanda group, put him in front of his nose, eventually teleporting him to the discreet Asian league. He did it in the company of Nico Gaitn. So Simeone, who had personally convinced the Belgian after an intense telephone conversation in Mnaco, in the summer of 2015, had no choice but to watch one of his jokers parade. His eyes clouded when he saw the offer, they maintain in the offices of the Metropolitan.

And, by surprise, just as he left, Carrasco returned. In the last honk of the winter market, when Edinson Cavani had mutated in utopa, the midfielder stormed like an emergency solution. It wasn't a '9', but I knew the libretto by heart Simeone And, with 26 years, I knew what I had to do to avoid repeating past mistakes. They say that his bad relationship with some of the heavyweights of that wardrobe accelerate his move to China. The fact is that Yannick was wearing the Attic training shirt in the previous Bernabu derby (February 1) without having signed his cessation contract. And I met again with LaLiga by mounting a good thing to Sergio Ramos. What I liked most about him was his desire to come, he revealed his technique. Its cessation is only until June but, depending on its performance, it could lead to a transfer.

Just an hour on the lawn

In the month he has been in Madrid, Carrasco has played just over an hour (63 minutes), divided into three games. Last week, in front of Villarreal Y Liverpool, don't even pee the lawn. Provide freshness and legs for the end of the season. The way he works is no secret to him, some former classmates of his acknowledge as soon as his return is announced.

This Sunday, with the permission of Simeone, be one of the headlines against Espanyol. A sensation that I did not experience since that Atletico-Valencia (February 4, 2018). Although second parts were not always good, as happened with Diego Ribas or even with Diego Costa, Carrasco (127 games and 23 goals) wants to continue the story he left half. How Gabi, towers or Filipe Luis, saving distances. He looks more focused and mature, constantly repeat in the club. What is certain is that your coach will have a good bullet for this season finale.
