Looks like these are not the last days of the market for Atletico Madrid they will bring some surprise in the form of arrival. The rojiblanco team has done almost all of their squad planning homework but have not been able to sign the long-awaited ‘5’ they have been asking for. Simeon to “finish the balancing of the squad”, as he himself said a few weeks ago.
It is not excluded but it is clear that it is more and more complicated as the market closes Europe. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, the first purpose of the mattress, is still waiting for Athletic give outputs to the two players to make their signing. The Dane is accumulating minutes in the Tottenham, is a non-starter, but the options are dwindling as the days go by. It is so.
but, Diego Pablo Simeone He assumes that things can change, or he needs to spend the first part of the season rethinking what he has, reinventing himself, shall we say, which is almost a house brand in terms of Cholo meaning.
Because the coach has been doing this all his life, in football, and he knows what he’s doing, a few weeks ago he anticipated what might happen in this matter. And he talked to one of the players from the squad of Athleticwhich may mark the immediate future of the ‘5’ on the mattress team.

“Obviously there are many things to improve but I told him that he has all the conditions to play in that area,” continued the mattress coach.
The truth is that the youth player started the course with good minutes but, for example, faced the clash against pomegranatewhen he is injured Cokeis Neighborhoods came in to occupy that role; but in the next match, against the LegsSimeone chose to Paul as ‘5’ and had to change course at half-time, the player was used again Moratalaz.
POSITIONS HELD EXCEPT…
For Simeon, with what there is, the pure pivot position is covered. That means it won’t come now Holberg. “With Coke and Neighborhoods in such a position, more Axelthe area is covered”, he asserted.
But of course, the market is two-way and in this course there is still a bigger threat, that of Saudi Arabia – “The risk is not the European market, but the people with the money. In two weeks they can take a player from us”, commented the Cholo-, that the market will close on September 20. so, Simeon pointed out that if he had midfielders –Carrasco, crying either to Paul with proposals from Saudi Arabia-, the team will be unbalanced. “If a midfielder goes out, a midfielder has to come,” Simeone finished.
