Morata, between uncertainty

At the end of the match against Getafeneither Alvaro Morata and Diego Simeone emphatically expressed their assurance of continuing to Atletico Madrid the striker, who has again been credited with his impressive goalscoring start to the season, two goals against Getafe which he added to the three he achieved in the last friendly against Juventus and the one scored a week and a half ago against Cádizstraight into the starting eleven in the competition and on the front page of the rojiblanco attack.

15 days after the market closes, with a contract until 2024without Juventus, the club claiming it, having exercised the purchase option available to it at the end of its second and final loan period with the Italian team or, later, having reached the numbers claimed by the entity of Spain for a hypothetical transfer, while his environment insists that he will continue as a rojiblanco, the impact of Atlético’s ’19’ has been conclusive in the scheme of Simeon.

Is your continuity in the rojiblanco team secure? The main character of all was not straightforward in that sense when he was directly asked about his continuation when he faced the press at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum in Getafe, having scored only the two goals in which he directed the first victory and the triple shared leadership. of Atlético, along with Villarreal and Betis. They all won 3-0 or 0-3.

“I really want to play here, work, play matches, also play a lot of competitions. I’m really excited about this season, but like I always come here, they always treat me well and I’m happy. I will give everything. For effort and commitment it will not be,” he said.

“In the end, that’s your job that comes out in the press (about possible market movements). I always come here wanting to work, work and work. It’s clear that Atlético de Madrid is one of the best clubs in the world There is a great human group of players and people. I want to continue working,” he insisted when directly asked if he would stay at the club.

“I am not the owner of the club, I am the coach. Morata is working very well, working in an unusual way and everyone with him hopes that he can continue with us. All footballers need to have the confidence to do the important things. He came with a lot of humility, wanted to work, saw him from day one, didn’t ask for anything, but worked hard to get his form,” said his coach Diego Simeone.

Meanwhile, Morata’s response was unmistakable on the pitch. None of his attacking competitors (ni Antoine Griezmann or Matheus Cunha, through which the English press speaks of an offer of 50 million euros from Manchester United for his signing, by Angel strap) was as conclusive or as scorer as he was in the preseason or on the first day of LaLiga.

Morata’s match with Getafe, which cost Juventus 35 million in the case of buying it after his two-year loan, shows a good moment of the striker, who has already taught it in Cádiz, reaffirmed it at the Continassa Sports Center against Juventus and confirmed it at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum from the starting eleven won based on goals: six of their last three games.

Of the three shots proposed by the Madrid attacker at Getafe, two were goals, with a success rate of 0.67 percent, assisted by Joao Félix.who leads the assists ranking on this first day with three, as he also provided another Antoine Griezmann 0-3 in which Atlético won.

Morata leads the scorers table with Juanmi Jimenez (Betis) and Alex Baena (Villarreal). The first, also has a 67 percent success rate; the second, with one hundred percent, as he scored two goals with his two shots on goal at the Nuevo Zorilla stadium against Valladolid.

The leading scorer for the Spanish national team has scored 24 goals in his 62 clashes between all competitions with the rojiblanco team, with a goal every two and a half games. His goals were important in that trip for 19 points for Atlético, where he once again valued himself on his return, with more doubts about his return to the club and when the World Cup is around three month.

The squad is resting this Tuesday after their victory. On Wednesday he will return to training to prepare for Sunday’s next match against Villarreal at the Wanda Metropolitano, where everyone is expected to be available for the clash, including Philip Monteirowho is ending his set-up due to tendinitis in his knee, and Jose Maria Gimenez, came down to Getafe due to a severe case of tonsillitis. The eleven could be the same, with Morata an undisputed striker now in Simeone’s scheme.
