Possible line-up of Atlético in the derby against Real Madrid

If Cholo had it clear last week, since Monday with the same team, Koke substitute, Luis Suárez and Griezmann attacking couple upstairs, this one has been the opposite. The Argentine coach has tested a team every day, with multiple variants, exits and entrances in the rojiblanco team that will play against Real Madrid. The whites are already league champions, but the rojiblancos have not yet reached their primary objective for the season: classify among the first four, in those positions that give access to the next Champions League.

He has four finals left, all essential to complete this challenge that is the foundation of the club. “It’s in the annual planning,” Simeone confessed in the press room. On Monday his idea was a new trident: Cunha, Correa and Griezmann. On Thursday, Llorente at the point of attack alongside the Brazilian. In the last session, yesterday, he changed his point of attack again: Correa and Cunha.

The return of the captain

Two things are repeated in all the teams that the Argentine has tried these days. That Cunha is always the starter and that Koke too. And that the couple Savic and Giménez return, more than a month later The captain was a substitute against Athletic and it did not work for Cholo. The last eleven that he meditated yesterday, with which he tried, they formed: Oblak; Vrsaljko, Savic, Gimenez, Reinildo; Llorente, Koke, Kondogbia, Carrasco; Strap and Cunha.
