Atlético de Madrid
to the competition, this Sunday in San Mamés against Athletic at 2:00 p.m. The Argentine coach has defined the eleven that will jump from the start to the Bilbao feud lawn, and in which the great novelty will be the presence of Marcos Llorente as second striker behind Diego Cost
to.
The coach was asked about this decision that he taught in the weekly trainings at the telematic press conference that he offered from the Ciudad Deportiva de Majadahonda at the end of the training of the mattress team.
The Cholo He explained his reasoning and, by the way, he wanted to send a message to those who have already questioned his playing in San Mamés with a single pure '9' (D
iego Costa) leaving another striker on the bench (Morata).
“You know that we handle situations. Marcos gives us important alternatives. We can play with three in the middle, with Carrasco up, with Llorente on the right … Marcos has a very good physical condition and second-line finish. He showed it, when we took Costa out and put Llorente in and it was very important. In the middle it gives us work and if it joins the route and the possibility of a goal … It is not the same as in the preseason, when we bet on Morata and Costa.

With the walk we will see if they can play together, for those who get nervous, I explain the reason. For those who want to have noise, “said the Argentine coach smiling.
