Simeone seems to be clear about the team that will play this Sunday (9:00 pm) against Betis. The Atlético coach insisted with the team with which he has been rehearsing in recent days, with João Félix and Correa at the top of the attack. It will be necessary to see the disposition of the team and if the Portuguese plays in front or does it something more delayed. In this Friday's session he played early. Together with Correa, he will be in charge of leading Atlético's attack.
In defense Simeone placed Trippier and Carrasco as lanes with Savic, Giménez and Hermoso as centrals. Giménez seems to be winning the game over Felipe in the center of the rear. the middle played Lemar, Herrera and Koke. The Mexican will be the great novelty in the eleven. Saúl will return to the bench.
The rojiblanco coach dedicated a large part of the training to rehearsing set pieces. Atlético has a hard time scoring and strategy plays can help a lot now that the team has problems with the goal. Simeone rehearsed corners and side fouls and insisted on how to hurt the opponent in this type of action. He was very much on top of his players to make these plays with precision. Atlético has not scored in strategy play since the match against Villarreal, on February 28.
Atlético was left to zero against Sevilla, on the previous day they scored a goal against Alavés and in the Champions League, in the second leg against Chelsea, they did not score a goal either. The same thing happened in the league match against Getafe. That is, in the last four official competition matches the team has scored a goal, a worrying data for the Madrid team and facing the nine games that remain of the season.
