Simeone, with all her attack; Beautiful worked on the sidelines

Atlético faces the game against Mallorca with practically its entire squad, mainly in attack. With Vrsaljko's only safe casualty, Hermoso is the big doubt. The center-back traveled to Barcelona apparently recovered from his muscle problems, but today he worked on the sidelines and could be out for tomorrow's game. In the good news section, Simeone will feature news from Koke and Savic, sanctioned at the Camp Nou after being cautioned against Alavés.

Thus the Cholo has his entire attack front available. From the center of the field upwards it has multiple variants, with Thomas, Saúl, Herrera, Koke, Llorente, Lemar, Vitolo, Correa, João Félix, Morata, Diego Costa and Saponjic. You only have to look at Atlético's substitutions when launched for the victory against Barça: João Félix, Morata, Lemar and Vitolo leaving from the bench for a third goal that finally did not come.

Simeone's rotations, where anyone can be a starter, favored by the new rule with the five substitutions that the coach usually takes advantage of, propitiate an ocean of possibilities above. At the Camp Nou they started with the bandss Correa and Carrasco, with Llorente and Costa arriba, while the four mentioned above finished. And that counting on the loss of a fixed like Koke.

More goals

Far are the matches where Simeone had to resort up to five Atleti B players to complete the calls of 18 footballers. Matches in which he came to count on Saponjic, a player who has practically had no opportunities, due to not having more variants. Diego Costa, João Félix, Morata, Lemar or Vitolo have suffered significant injuries during the season, but now they are all there. In addition, Llorente's new position offers a variant above.

Simeone has been making between five and eight changes between lineup and lineup, dividing minutes between all. Atlético has scored 12 goals in the six games back to competition, figures well above the average of the start of the course, with a pressing lack of goal. Cholo knows that he has a gold resource on the bench and five of the 12 goals have been obtained by substitute players, bearing in mind that another one of them was in own. Now he steps more area (three penalties in favor), generates more danger and has more variants. Against Mallorca, apparently players like Koke and João Félix will return to eleven, but Simeone accumulates alternatives. The best news for the technician, go recovering players for the cause like Llorente or Carrasco. The next objective is to see the best version of the Portuguese and regain the peak of form of Correa and Morata.
