Llorente, the multipurpose Cholo

Marcos Llorente is an all-rounder for Simeone. The Madrilenian, incorporated in the summer of 2019 from Real Madrid as a pivot to cover the loss of Rodrigo Hernández, he has become a player increasingly decisive near the rival area.

14

Since the historic night at Anfield, where his double in extra time turned the tie against Liverpool, it's been a gale in attack. He has started as a right inside, second forward, close to the midfielder and even as a reference above. El Cholo knows that he is a boy for everything, and in the last games, with the entrance of Lemar inside closer to the midfielder, he has delayed again a few meters towards the middle. Total Add six goals and five assists in the league, the second top scorer of the team with João Félix (after Suárez's 12) and the top assistant tied with the Portuguese, Trippier and Correa. But in Cádiz, he could give one more turn to his position.

Simeone has the doubt in the right lane, where Carrasco was running to cover Trippier's loss with his great minutes against Valencia, but the coronavirus has forced him to stop. Cholo has the option of using Vrsaljko, the natural substitute, in the position, but he has also tried Llorente there, which would give entrance to Torreira in the middle. Cholo is sure that the '14', who turned 26 yesterday, could also perform that function perfectly. He already gave him minutes there against Getafe and may be the patch awaiting the return of the Belgian. An ace up Simeone's sleeve, which I use him wherever he uses him, he knows that Llorente is going to give up on the team.
