Simeone prepares for Vigo the duo that Anfield took: Morata-Llorente

Atlético has started preparing the match against Celta and Simeone already knows that for that match they will not be able to count on Diego Costa, sanctioned, and has the doubt of João Félix, with ankle discomfort. The coach is rotating in all the lines and this time, forced by the absences, could choose a striker Marcos Llorente-Morata.

Cholo has been testing combinations in recent games and, so far, the Madrid starters had never coincided in the attack. The three games that Morata has played as a starter after the break (Valladolid, Alavés and Mallorca) have been together with João Félix. Before the break he was a starter with other teammates up (Costa, Correa and Vitolo), but then Llorente did not count as a forward.

Yes they have coincided in attack as revulsive. For example, they did it at Anfield. Morata entered extra time, already 2-1 on the scoreboard, and together with Llorente, who had done so in the 56th minute, they prepared 2-2 and 2-3, a goal and an assist per head. Already in this section, they jumped onto the field at the same time in Pamplona, ​​to play the last half hour: they scored one goal each, Morata's pass from Llorente.

Both were against Mallorca, but Llorente started from the right. In that position attended Morata at 2-0. Then, after João Félix's departure, they formed an attacking partner for a few minutes, until the '9' was replaced. In Vigo everything indicates that they will make up the lead, although Simeone has another option: return Correa to the tip of the attack. The Argentine has started against Osasuna, Alavés and Barça, but in all cases playing on the right. Between Llorente and him, Cholo has chosen Madrid from the front.
