The Atletico Madrid found out on Wednesday that Nahuel Molina He was sanctioned for two games after the straight red card he saw on Sunday against Villarreal at the Metropolitano. a retreat for Diego Simeon, that he cannot rely on his compatriot for the matches against Valencia and Real Sociedad, both at home.
Cholo lined up Molina in the eleven in the first two league games, making it clear that he would be the owner and master of the rojiblanco team’s right side. The departure of Daniel Wass, transferred to Brondby, This leaves him as the only player in the squad at that demarcation. And in the first change, a crack appeared in that area.
The Argentine coach has several options to replace the former Udinese: Marcos Llorente, Sergio Diez (fan favorite) or even change the band to aa Carrasco. And in the first training session of the week, held on Wednesday afternoon at Ciudad Deportiva de Majadahonda, he began to make his intentions clear.
Because Simeone tried Marcos Llorente as a right-handed lane. The most logical choice, but also the one that is less convincing to the footballer and one that the coach himself does not like, that he prefers to play more advanced, close to the opponent’s area, to exploit his conditions. There he played in the first two games of the championship.
But in the Mestalla, he will return to a demarcation where he has already acted last year as a mattress player and also in the Spanish team under the command of Luis Enrique. Llorente doesn’t mind playing there, how could he, but it’s not his preferred position.
The man from Madrid is trying to recover the sensations of the 20/21 season, where he was the key for Atlético to conquer LaLiga, and where he disappeared last year. And now he has to keep doing it, but in the right-handed lane, for the next two days. At least at Mestalla, where it will be a lateral if Simeone doesn’t change his mind all week.
Molina’s penalty, and the lack of a substitute for the Argentine will once again make Llorente the ‘glue’ to cover the cracks at Atlético de Madrid’s right-back.
