Llorente and Atlético: “It was the best option and I was right, I'm happy …”

Marcos Llorente is one of the fashion footballers in LaLiga. From his double at Anfield, he seems to have found his place at Atlético and is a key player in Simeone's attack. This Tuesday, after training, has participated in the Sanse Pre-sports Campus through a video conference. Thus, the medium, 25 years old, has answered the children's questions.

Among these doubts, of course, the reasons for his departure from Real Madrid and his arrival in the neighbor. Without preamble: “Why did you go to Atleti?” Llorente explained it simply: “There are times that one, When things are not going as you want, you decide to change. I decided to change teams. Atleti was the best option for me and today I think I was right and I am very happy “.

Llorente was called to fill the vacancy of Rodrigo Hernández in the middle of the field. However, it soon became clear that this was not going to be his role in the team, where he had a hard time entering. Before Christmas he was a starter only three times (and on two he was substituted at half-time). But Life changed him in that Liverpool extension.

Simeone, who had already given him minutes on the right wing, discovered that his virtues could serve him for the attack and that has been his most usual position after the break, alongside Morata or Diego Costa. Goals, assists, overflows and an important physical display … Llorente has found his place and, as he himself admits, he is happy in red and white.
