Simeone recovers Lemar

Lemar was the best of Atlético against Valencia. The Frenchman played from the start and responded to Simeone's confidence. He led the offensive game of the Madrid team, he shot at goal, he tried and Cholo recovers him for the cause in a new attempt for the player to show the quality that he carries inside. Against Valencia he shot four times at goal: two were stopped by JaumeAnother was taken out by Wass when he was already sneaking in and a third pitch was rejected by the Valencia defense.

Lemar, in addition, had an 86 percent success rate in the passes. He was inspired by that facet, where he has to break the midfield and the rival defensive system with their passes. With 25 years, and with a contract in force until 2023, Lemar knows that he is facing his last season to have a good performance under Cholo's orders.

Atlético made a great investment for him. He paid 70 million for 70 percent of his pass. An important amount for a player who had a great projection. Its market value now it is 15 million, very far from what Atlético paid for their services. This season he has played seven LaLiga matches. He did not play against Huesca and Villarreal, where he was a substitute and did not play for a minute. Their participation, however, has not been important. He has played a total of 216 minutes of league competition.

In Champions he played the four games of the group stage. He has played 70 minutes in the Champions League. The Valencia match can be a before and after for Lemar, which could come out in this past winter market. In the Premier they wanted him, but Atlético did not want to sell him off. The Madrid club preferred to give him a new opportunity. After the league clash, both Simeone and Carrasco had some positive words towards him. In the dressing room they know that Lemar can give a lot of joy to the Madrid team.
