Simeone needs the best Saúl

Simeone needs the best Saúl. The Atlético midfielder has not started the season at a good level and Cholo knows that he is not just another player within the team. Saúl is already a veteran within the Madrid team and when Atlético performs well, they notice it. Saúl is not a passing player unnoticed. For now, and in the face of future games, it is essential for the Argentine coach that the midfielder recovers his football.

At 25, Saúl is one of those who rule the group. Criticized by the fans, he is one of the Atlético players with the best lineup outside of our country. All-terrain player status has always been highly praised by rival coaches and players. With a contract until June 2026, the greats of Europe pay attention to him to reinforce their core line. But year after year he continues in the club and ends up being one of the players most used by Simeone.

Its market value is 72 million and this year has started like all, being a starter in the center of the field. He played all three games, although he was traded against Huesca. Last season He played 47 games (35 in LaLiga, nine in the Champions League, two in the Spanish Super Cup and one in the Copa del Rey). Without having a great season, he ended up scoring six goals in the league championship and one in the Champions League.

International for Spain has now been seen outside the national team. The rojiblanca fans do not understand that there are no players from the Madrid team with Spain. At Atlético they see it differently. Saúl has two weeks ahead of him to get on top and to regain old feelings. If there is something that nobody denies him, it is that he always tries, right or wrong. He has enough personality not to fall apart in bad times. Simeone needs you. Atlético, which has started somewhat irregularly, too.
