Remain three days for Atlético-Real Madrid and Simeone continues to test in the eleven. This Wednesday, the novelty was that he hinted that the team can return to the 4-4-2 start. In the last session, in addition, has tried João Félix in the attack, change of plan with respect to the previous training. That of the Portuguese, after his intermittence in recent weeks and his goal celebrated with anger at Villarreal, is the great unknown of the rojiblanca line-up.
In reality, the only change from one trial to another has been the entry of João Félix for Saúl, a swap that varies a lot. Marcos Llorente's versatility allows Cholo to make these movements, and even tweak the system during the game. According to this last essay, the 14 would form in the center next to Koke. The eleven in question would be with Oblak; Trippier, Savic, Felipe, Hermoso; Correa, Llorente, Koke, Carrasco; Luis Suárez and João Félix, in a 4-4-2 that could easily mutate into a three-center defense scheme.
There are still two sessions left in which Simeone will continue testing, with the idea of playing several games within 90 minutes of the derby. It is already common for the coach to change systems during the matches, he did it in the first round in Valdebebas, and the presence of Carrasco, Llorente, Correa, Hermoso, etc. helps him to do so. Also that of Lemar, who has trained without problems with the group and could also be an option for the eleven. Giménez is the only casualty.
