Vrsaljko meets Simeone

Vrsaljko added a new title against Éibar with a good note just as it happened before Getafe and Alaves. The Croatian meets in a season where he is being important for the team. Trippier's discharge has opened the door to ownership and he is not wasting it. The goal against him Cardassar gave him oxygen and confidence. The side has not had it easy. Since 2016 where he only played 11 games as a starter. In addition, he did not debut until the fourth day and then did not appear again until day 13.

We must not forget that on January 10 he turned 29 and he did so with a clear desire: to start at Atleti. With a contract until 2022, the Croatian wants to show that he can increase his level and earn a renewal on his own merits.

Non-rival

Everything indicated that Trippier's suspension was an incentive for Ricard returned to the dynamics of the first team. But this is not being the case. The youth squad gave the surprise in his Cup debut against him Cardassar with a great goal included. At the moment, the youth squad continues with the subsidiary and the Croatian is without a direct rival for owning the right side of the mattress box.
