He Atletico Madrid He is already working to prepare for the game next Saturday, September 16, against Valenciain Mestalla. A date where Diego Pablo Simeone will fester the wound left on the team by the departure of Yannick Carrasco.
the saudi team Al-Shabaab He has officially announced the acquisition of the Belgian international, who has been in the Arab country since last Sunday. The Belgian ended his second spell at Atletico Madrid. He already had his first outing in an ‘exotic football’ of his time, when in his first period with rojiblanca he went to Chinato play with Rush China, where he left in February 2018. Carrasco He returned to the rojiblanco club in the winter market of the 19-20 campaign, a second period in which he was champion of League at 20-21. In total, the Belgian winger played 266 games including Athletic, including the first three in this campaign. Of those, he played 190 as a starter. He scored 47 goals and provided 45 assists between the two periods.
the goodbye of Carrascoundisputed holder in the scheme of Diego Simeone As a left winger in the 5-3-2 that catapulted the team, he was a true ‘broken’. out the door, Simeon he says what he has to say. “They have been together for many years, he was very young, he left, he came back, he was very good, we won the League, he always gave himself in the best way and predisposition for what the team and the coach needed. . I am always grateful with the boys who gave us so much and he is one of them. I love him very much”, he explained in the preview of the match against him. Sevillewhen that was known Carrasco He finished his signing.
THE OPTIONS TO SUPPLY YOU
The point is that Simeon You insist there are players to replace the Belgian’s departure.
“His position has been paid. It has also been considered. Because since the end of the last championship there is a possibility that Yannick to get out Worked accordingly. Arrived Linencame RiquelmeIf we need something in the winter market, we will review it as the months go by, but I repeat again that I see things that I like,” he said. Simeon.
the emptiness of Carrasco you’ve got the two mentioned and included Javi Galan and reinildo as options too. “Either of the three can occupy that place and work as a coach to strengthen all the footballers to occupy a place where they Carrasco He has done very well all this time in Athletic. Linen it has been done in Portugal As a winger at times and he can do it without a doubt. Javi Galan it has been done in Huesca and in Celtic Also, more as an attacking winger than as a winger. And Riquelme we understand that you can too. This is not a unique situation. He has done it in friendlies on the right, he has done very well, he has defended very well, obviously he has things to improve, but that is why we coaches are dedicated every week to make the club improve in competition”, he analyzed . .
THE COMPARISON
The issue here is that Yannick Carrasco He is a player with a very special profile, difficult to replace. A winger has been replaced by a long winger, with a long run, capable of defending but at the same time capable of overflowing in attack, destabilizing the opponent with his step, dribbling and running.
The closest thing, without too much travel or physicality, might be Samuel Lino, but he’s clearly several steps below in terms of his defensive work. Riquelme He is also different, a more creative player, more vertical, talented, with dribbling but not as experienced as the Belgian. Prince He’s a winger, with deployment, yes, but he hasn’t had any minutes yet Simeon. AND reinildo He is a full-back with a lot of body, with ability to come but more problems offensively.
The initial idea of Cholo like the bet Riquelmeat least that’s what was planned in the duel against Seville. Let’s see if he stays in the bet for the game of Mestalla. You have two weeks to do this. Roro is not a winger, not even a winger, he is an interior.
When comparing the protagonists, taking the basis of the previous year as a percentage per 90 minutes, we see that Carrasco He is the most goalscorer of all, he is also the most assisted, the one who created the most chances per game (1.9). to the candidates Javi Galan outstanding in the context of individual rivalries, leu has won the most (14.5 per game), made the most tackles (3), the most clearances (1.6), the most interceptions (1.2) and the most blocks ( 0.2 per encounter). Also the one who attempted the most crosses in the area (4.7 to Carrasco’s 4.2), both far from Lino’s 2.6, Riquelme’s 3.3 or just 0.9 from reinildo.
Mozambique have the most pass security (89.7%), make the most forward passes (19.9), recover the most balls (7.6) and lose the fewest balls (9, 5 on average). Equal to Carrasco in lockdowns.
As we can see from the data, Carrasco it is very special because it combines great offensive power with consistent defensive performance.
