Oblak, the most complicated challenge

Oblak was another of the great winners of the match played on March 11, 2020 at Anfield. The Atlético goalkeeper made very worthwhile saves and emerged victorious from the Liverpool stadium. The English media echoed his great performance and Oblak is a goalkeeper with a great poster in the Premier. In fact, from England it has always been pointed out that the greats there want him: Manchester United, Chelsea …

However, he is still in the rojiblanco team, of which he is second captain and one of its main assets.. With a contract in force until 2023 and with a market value of 70 million, he is in a season where he can achieve his sixth Zamora and in which Atlético really wants to fight for the Champions League again. In previous campaigns, the goalkeeper showed some disagreement with the leaders, understanding that Atlético had not strengthened enough to fight for all the titles.

This season it has and the rojiblanca squad is at the level of the best. With Oblak defending his goal. Tonight, against Liverpool, the goal of keeping a clean sheet will be set. The same thing that happened in the tie two seasons ago, when Atlético won the game 1-0 at Wanda Metropolitano. Then, at Anfield, he conceded two goals, but avoided a few others with his saves that seemed sung.

Atlético has conceded seven goals this season in the ten official matches played to date. now: six goals received in LaLiga and one in Champions, against Milan. Despite this, the rojiblancos won 1-2. Porto, in the Metropolitan, was left without scoring a goal. Only Villarreal, in the league tournament, has scored more than one goal. Emery’s set scored two for him.

Liverpool arrives in an overwhelming plan at the rojiblanco enclosure and Salah in an excellent moment of form, but he faces a goalkeeper who has already known how to stop him. And I’m sure that if Atlético wins and the Slovenian plays a good game, the spotlight will be on him again and from England his future will be linked again with one of his main clubs. Something that already happened in the past. At 28 years old, and in his eighth season as rojiblanco, He signed for Atlético to play matches of this level. For many, he is the best goalkeeper in the world and will have a new test to prove it. The Kloop team will demand the best version of Oblak.
