One of the forgotten players of Diego Pablo Simeone in this final section of the championship is Geoffrey Kondogbia. With eight games to go before the end of LaLiga, the midfielder has yet to make his debut in the second round of the championship. His last appearance was on January 29, more specifically from matchday 19 when he played three minutes against Osasuna.
Since then he has not featured again, and that was only out of the squad for two games. Surprisingly, he has not been involved in visits to the two greats in LaLiga, he will not be involved in Santiago Bernabeu due to injury or at the Camp Nou due to suspension.
Despite this ostracism, the Cholo sent him positive messages through press conferences: “We are not fair to condogbia, he doesn’t come into the final games working well. But the competition is great, with many people in the middle and we want to be as fair as possible in what is good for the team. Don’t put your arms down, like Saúl does, like Morata who has been a substitute for three games and always something happens when he comes on.”
Well, now comes a good time for it to reappear condogbia. The damages of Marcos Llorente, Savic and the physical problems which Coke did not play against him Barcelona They can open the door for the team either at the beginning or during the game.
The position in which you participated the most condogbia this season he became a center midfielder. A hole usually occupied by the captain is now touched. If Vallecano doesn’t play, his replacement in recent days will witsell who will account for the loss of Savic in defense. A position he could not fill either to Paul that he has to play on the right because of the injury of Marcos Llorente. So ‘4’ wins multiple choices.
His great rival for that demarcation as seen in Camp Nou is Pablo Barrios. The youth squad player came out in the second half and played in the middle instead witsell. Leaves good feelings. Saul He also came to play in that demarcation, but the Cholo It doesn’t give him minutes on the pivot.
An opportunity that comes at a crucial moment of the season. His future, as always, is up in the air. His few minutes in Atletico Madrid they can force you to find a way out. From premier league There are several teams that have been interested in him. So the next few weeks could be a good showcase to get his continuation or a better destination.
