Simeone tries Llorente in eleven … as a forward!

Atlético has trained at the Majadahonda facilities, already thinking about the clash this Sunday against Athletic (2:00 p.m.). The rojiblanco team returned to exercise after the weekend of rest that SImeone gave to its staff and the rojiblanco team took advantage of the work session, which lasted more than an hour and a half. In training so only Correa and Vrsaljko were missing, those who were not with the group. João Félix did exercise together with the rest of his teammates, Although the Portuguese striker will not be in Bilbao when he is sanctioned.

Simeone rehearsed with a possible starting eleven against the Basque teamor. Two would be the great novelties: Carrasco and Marcos Llorente. Cholo put Carrasco as a left-handed interior. He did it both in the defensive exercises and in the subsequent game. Accompanied in the medulla Koke, Thomas and Saúl. The Argentine coach paid special attention to movements behind and defenders and media tried the placement and clearance on the air balls.

Marcos Llorente, meanwhile, played as a striker with Diego Costa. Simeone tried a classic 4-4-2 and Llorente moved well with Costa. Morata, as it appears from the trial, would be relegated to the substitution. It will be necessary to see if in the rest of the week Simeone continues to think of Llorente as a forward.
