New trident against Osasuna: Griezmann, Correa and Carrasco

Atlético trained in Majadahonda with their sights set on Saturday’s game against Osasuna and Simeone could already count on all the internationals, except for Herrera, who has not yet joined the rojiblanca discipline. Cholo does not have João Félix for the match against the Navarrese team and the coach tried an eleven for the new league clash.

Simeone rehearsed with a team and a new trident to face Osasuna: Correa, Griezmann and Carrasco. In the first place, the Argentine coach continued to insist with a 4-4-2, something he also did in previous training sessions. It seems that at the moment he is ruling out playing with three center-backs and two lanes, something he has done regularly throughout the season. The defense consisted of Vrsaljko, Felipe, Savic and Hermoso. Vrsaljko played a good game against Valencia and the idea is that he continues in the starting eleven.

In the middle, Koke played alongside Marcos Llorente, with Correa on the right wing and Carrasco on the left. As the most advanced man, Griezmann, and Lemar helping his compatriot. In attack, Atlético was deployed with a 4-3-3, with Griezmann, Correa and Carrasco as the most advanced, most offensive players. When it came to defending it seemed more like a 5-4-1, with Griezmann staying more on the front and Lemar closing with Koke and Llorente, as well as Correa and Carrasco.

Giménez, Luis Suárez and De Paul did not participate in the game. The three have been playing with their national teams and Atlético has a game next Wednesday against Milan, so it would not be strange if they did not play against Osasuna from the start. In the Champions League, on Wednesday, neither Felipe nor Griezmann will be able to play, due to suspension.
