Witsel and Carrasco also went to the World Cup

Two more footballers Atletico Madrid for him Qatar World Cup. So far, the mattress team has four confirmed participants (grbic, Griezmann and the two so far) with these last two; but they will be more because they are ready like a mule Portugal, Argentina either Uruguaywhich will also have a red and white presence.

In this case, the two new names to join the list of World Cup players are the Carrasco Y witsel. Two predictable names in any case, because they are fixed in calls for Robert Martinezselector of Belgium.

However, in the case of Yannick Carrasco, he is on the payroll as a lane, as a winger, not as a midfielder or as a winger. And that’s it, this mattress transformation started exactly in his country, with his choice. Martínez used him as a right back and as a left back on several occasions.

And now, on Athleticwas playing there many games, as a left back when Simeone used a line of five behind.

WITSEL, JUST AS A MIDFIELDER

In your case, witsel he is a midfielder. For Robert Martinez It is not an option as a central defender, as is the case at Atlético for Simeone. “I think, in the national team, we have a lot of players who can be centre-backs, who can play midfielders. Axel Witzel He is a midfielder, that is how we see him, for his qualities, for his way of playing, for the stability of the structure he gives us”, pointed out the Belgian coach at the beginning of the course.

“I think it’s positive when you have a footballer like that Axel that he has other references to the game in other positions, as he did in Borussia Dortmund at that time… It could be a specific solution for a moment of a match, for a specific match as well. That adds value to him as a player and it also adds value to us as a team but not taking into account that he has become a central defender (…) We are pleased that he has had such a good landing in Spanish football , that he was selected as Atlético’s best player in August, I see it as very positive. But I see it as an added value that he can play in another position, rather than a solution for the selection of Belgium”, he added.
