Diego Simeone I decided from the beginning of the week that Álvaro Morata and Ángel Correa They will form an offensive duo of Atlético de Madrid against Almeria. There was no hint of doubt with Cholo about his plans, although there was some (few, it must be said) in the atmosphere given the creative ability of the Spaniard and the Argentine in recent weeks.
The two arrived at the appointment after weeks of not seeing the door. Four games are chained Morata and ten belt. The National Team captain is having the best scoring start of his career but now he is going through a small drought that no one doubted. Simeon even though Memphis has recovered.
For his part, the South American has not seen the net since he scored a double against the team on October 1. Cádiz in Metropolitan. Ten games without scoring (only two of which he started) and some clearly missed opportunities, like last Sunday against Barcelona at Montuïc in injury time, and there is talk of Simeon in the middle, little angel He was reunited with the cause.
Morata and Correa switched roles when it came to defeating opposing goals. The first took out a defender and the goalkeeper to score, while the second scored a pure ‘killer’ goal, by finishing a dead pass from the goal mouth. Marcos Llorente. The Spaniard scored in the 17th minute. The Argentine in the 21st minute. In just four minutes, the drought is over and the debate is closed.
“I see Correa well, In the second half he entered well, he had goal situations, as usual. He works like before since he came to the club, he gets more minutes, he feels better. He has to find the goal, which is what every footballer wants, which is surely coming,” Simeone said in the preview. Before he referred to Morata. “I see him well, I see him working for what the team needs, he is an important player for the team. The other day he only had one, the one in the center of Llorente that he couldn’t identify. He doesn’t have dangerous situations and we need, as a team, to build them. Morata needs the team and the team needs a strong Morata”.
The field agreed with him and they hook up again ahead of two intense weeks full of important matches, starting with Wednesday’s game against lazio at the Metropolitano where Atlético will be looking for first place in its Champions League group.
