The Atlético de Madrid will receive this Saturday at Barcelona at the Wanda Metropolitano at 9:00 p.m. And one of the doubts of the rojiblanco environment is to know if Diego Simeone will keep the style of this season or, if on the contrary, it will not do so, taking into account that the booklet was modified as a result of the arrival of Luis Suarez to the mattress set.
In other seasons, Cholo already tried to give the team a twist, but then, a bad result or the request of 'heavyweights' to return to what worked made it not possible to see 'another' Atlético, a team that Yes, he has been meeting the minimum objectives set by the board, that is, always being among the top four in LaLiga, regardless of style.
But with Suárez, Simeone assumed from the first moment that he should play something else. The Uruguayan is not a striker to boost the counterattack, but so that the ball is close to the rival area. Because that is where one of the best rams in the world feels comfortable and offers his best version.
This Saturday, Suárez, positive for coronavirus, will not be able to be on the pitch. And Cholo already showed in Thursday's training that he wants to stand up to Barcelona
of Messi. At least, because of the test he did, where he tested with the team that, from the center of the field forward, will start this Saturday at the Metropolitano.
Koke Y Saul in the double pivot, after the confirmed losses of Torreira, who sent a message to the fans and Herrera. Kondogbia will wait on the bench. Llorente on the right wing and Carrasco to the left. And in attack, Angel Correa next to Joao Felix. The Argentine and the former Real Madrid footballer could vary their position. But it is clear that Simeone has in mind to go on the attack against the whole of Ronald
Koeman. Another thing will be what the players capture on the field, or what determines a game that can change its script at any time.
