Felipe Augusto Monteiro will be one of the novelties in the eleven of
Atlético de Madrid What present Diego Pablo Simeone before him Real Valladolid. By force because the rojiblanco team lost a few days ago to Jose Maria Gimenez, injured in the match against Bayern Munich.
The Uruguayan will be several games off with what Philip will have minutes, will have games. The Brazilian central defender had lost presence in the team with the return of Gimenez, after some physical problems. In the first part of the season he had many minutes, he played the first three games as a starter, then 41 minutes in Vigo, and their participation continued to be very good in subsequent matches until the appointment of Salzburg.
From there he barely had minutes. In the last seven games he only had minutes against Osasuna Y Barça (but one minute in each game); and in this Tuesday against him Bayern. He was left without playing against Lokomotiv, Cadiz, Lokomotiv again and Valencia.
Now, at least he will have minutes before him Valladolid, predictably, but something else. Although in reality Simeone you have other options, such as placing Beautiful central next to Savic already I gave it On the side.
Simeone He referred to him in the previous match against him Real
Valladolid. He hopes that these games will help him regain his level, which made him the best mattress for much of the previous season, among the new signings.
“The team is now playing with three centrals. Sometimes with Beautiful more of a left back and sometimes more of a center back We can go back to playing with two centrals, ”he said, asked directly by the Brazilian.
“TO Philip last season it has been similar. Perhaps his entry into the team was much faster, but it also appeared due to the injury of a teammate. This season he had to wait for his moment to now be possibly with more possibilities, because there are three centrals in the team. He is a boy who, the more games he plays, the better he will feel and we hope that when he has to play he will do it in the best way as he did last season ”.
