Llorente, Costa, Lodi … proper names for the return of Atleti

This Saturday is fulfilled one week of Atlético's return to work under the strict security protocol set by the Higher Sports Council (CSD) that pursues the return of the competition next June 12 and he does it with several proper names. Beyond Renan Lodi's, who tested positive for the coronavirus tests carried out on the squad the previous Wednesday and who was able to return to training this Friday, after having tested twice negative in the PCR tests in the last 72 hours, there are those of Marcos Llorente and Diego Costa, as in Nietzsche's eternal return.

As if last summer's events were repeating themselves, on Atlético's last return to work after a break of several weeks, which separated the 2018-19, 2019-20 season. The one of the Brazilian Hispanic because, as Cholo wished, he aimed at signing. He joined work at Cerro del Espino finer than ever, hungry to change the numbers of his return to the rojiblanco club (5 goals in 21 games) after three years at Chelsea, well below the numbers of the Costa that left (36 in 51). The old Costa always.

His preseason confirmed this: He was Rojiblanco's top scorer, with five goals, but the injuries, once the competitions started, again tripped him. The old Costa always, with one year left on his Atlético contract, has a new opportunity. And in this time of stop because of the coronavirus, he has taken the opportunity to fully recover his back, after undergoing surgery for a cervical disc herniation, and be ready for Cholo. His very fine figure, again the old old Costa, with The beast about to appear in each set of a game.

Llorente's privileged physicist

The another proper name of this return two months later is the same that of the Atlético's first day of work 2019-20 back there last July: Marcos Llorente. The midfielder stood out for his physical strength in the demanding Course-Navette test, as he is doing on this return to work. The Llorente physicist is surrounded by all the flattery. During confinement, the medium has not stopped show off your privileged physique, his brutal effort to go a little further each day than the day before, his great competitiveness. Llorente, whose path in the rojiblanco club has not been easy, came as one of the big signings and at the beginning it did not have the expected role, something that changed with 2020 and, above all, with that party, that of Anfield, in which he dressed as a hero to take Atlético to the quarterfinals. He has returned to Cerro with the firm intention that everything remains exactly the same as then. His physical form attests to this.
