One of the surprises left by the meeting between him Atlético de Madrid and the Getafe was to see the new position of Marcos Llorente. 56th minute of the match, Vrsaljko he left his place in the field to Saul. A substitution that left everyone speechless and is that the Argentine coach had prepared a new demarcation for the Madrid midfielder: right back.
The truth is that it was a position to which he easily adapted from the first moment. Back did not give many options to Olive That he showed during the game because the mattresses wanted him last summer. And then in attack he left good details in his rises to attack. He showed that his speed and power are also profitable in that position.
This is the third position to which the Cholo Simeone. Last season he placed him for the first time as a right inside, a position in which he scored his first goal in Mestalla before him Valencia. After he overtook him to play as second striker, he exploded in Anfield with two goals… and now he has found a place for him as a right back….
His ability to adapt to other demarcations is coming in handy for the Atlético de Madrid. The colchoneros needed a right back after the penalty to Trippier. Vrsaljko fulfilled in that demarcation in front of Getafe and the minutes that he was against Cardassar in Cup. But he returned after a long period of inactivity, not played since March 11 against the Liverpool. You need time to pick up the competitive pace.
And Giménez finished on the side
In the last minutes of the game the right-back occupied it Josema Gimenez. The Uruguayan already occupied that demarcation with the celestial in its beginnings. By then Lugano and Godin they had many tables in the center and in Uruguay they saw him well on the right. This is another footballer who needs to pick up the competitive pace.
So Vrsaljko, Llorente and Gimenez They will help so that the drop in Trippier. The other option would be that of the youth squad Ricard who already shone in the Copa del Rey against him Cardassar with a real goal. At the moment in League he has not made his debut.
